Bag-Roasted Wild Turkey Recipe
with Tangy Raspberry Sauce

The tangy raspberry sauce is delicious all on it's own-- I could eat it with a spoon. It's the perfect accompaniment to a roasted wild turkey recipe, helping to cut the gamey flavor. Flavorful, moist, with an elegant presentation.

Ingredients:
1 wild turkey (any size)
3-4 tbsp bacon grease
6-8 slices bacon
1 C. onions, chopped
2 C. celery, chopped
1 1/2 C. white wine
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
1 1/2 C. chicken broth
1 C. seedless raspberry jam
2 tbsp orange juice
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 roasting bag.

Instructions: Rinse turkey in cold water and pat dry. Combine onion, celery, bacon grease, and one cup wine. Stuff turkey with mixture.

Sprinkle outside of turkey with salt and pepper, then lay slices of raw bacon over the breast.

Place turkey inside roasting bag. Pour broth and remaining half-cup of wine into bag. Close bag. Roast turkey at 325 degrees F, until internal temperature reads 165 degrees F. (Cook time depends on weight of turkey. Check here for proper turkey cook times.)

Before carving, discard onion and celery.

For sauce: Combine raspberry jam, orange juice, and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Boil 2-3 minutes, until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly.

To serve: Spoon sauce into bottom of serving tray. Top with sliced wild turkey meat.
