Part 1 of this series covered tips for field dressing and aging game birds, and now it’s on to breasting, skinning, trussing and more!

When Captain Bob Wetherald, owner of the Mid River Guide Service, invites me to go hunting, I drop everything. He's arguably the Potomac River's best seaduck and diver guide, and the spread of smoked duck breast and spirits he puts out for the post-hunt social hour are alone worth the trip.

Wild turkey can be a challenging game meat to prepare, but this glazed turkey recipe is well worth it.

So you've killed a turkey. What next?

Stuffing a turkey breast with moist, Mediterranean ingredients will help keep your turkey from drying out. Pine nuts, olives and feta cheese are likely to become your favorite accompaniments to a spring gobbler.

Fruit is often paired with waterfowl to enhance taste and keep the meat moist. While often overlooked, dates are sweet, dense and full of fiber. This simple recipe transforms a simple duck breast into a succulent dinner, and will leave your friends and family asking for seconds.

A tender, flavorful sous vide wild turkey is easier and more affordable than ever to prepare. Your meat is guaranteed to be cooked to the perfect temperature every time, removing all guesswork on your end, and the fresh herbs, lemon and cranberries included in this recipe are a delicious natural accompaniment.

This recipe has a short list of ingredients but strongly delivers on flavor. Duck and fruit go well together, and adding a rich cheese is a great way to create a new and exciting meal.
