Marry Me Wild Turkey | MeatEater Cook

This is my wild game take on the classic “marry me” chicken. And while you might get a proposal out of this dish, it will definitely convince a reluctant significant other to tag along on a turkey hunt!

Wild turkey brings a deeper, more savory flavor to this Tuscan-inspired sauce. I particularly like browning the meat and aromatics in a little turkey fat or chicken schmaltz (though butter or oil will do just fine). A squeeze of lemon and the sun-dried tomatoes cut through the richness of the cream and make everything pop.

Serve it with crusty bread to soak up the sauce and pair it with a side of roasted broccolini. It’s the kind of meal that wins people over—at the table and maybe even in the field.
