Wild In The Kitchen: Peanut Butter Wild Turkey

Peanut Butter Wild Turkey

I must admit that I was apprehensive when a friend asked me to try his newly discovered dish. Once he showed me the ingredients, I realized it was a take on a popular Oriental chicken dish.

And it is wonderful!

1 turkey breast

2 tbsp salt

2 tbsp white sugar

2 tbsp white vinegar

1 cucumber, sliced into matchstick pieces

1/2 tbsp of black pepper

4 tbsp of soy sauce

2 tbsp of red chili oil

4 tbsp of peanut butter

2 tbsp of sesame oil

Marinate the turkey breast overnight in the salt, sugar,  and white vinegar in six cups of water. Refrigerate. The following day, thoroughly cook the turkey breast in a cast iron skillet. Allow to cool. Pound the turkey breast flat with a mallet. Shred the meat with a fork and combine cucumber sticks with the shredded turkey and arrange on a serving plate. Mix the peanut butter with the sesame oil into a sauce in a small bowl. Combine soy sauce, sugar, chili oil, black pepper and creamed peanut butter into a sauce and pour over the turkey. Serve over white rice. Serves four.
