Smoked Wild Turkey & Cranberry Log Recipe

Outdoorswoman Alley Stanley gives us a perfect holiday season wild game recipe for those that turkey hunt. Alley uses the Provider Crosshairs rub and cooks on a Traeger Grill.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked wild Turkey (domestic is fine too)
• 2 TBSP “Crosshairs” (The Provider)
• 2 TSP coarse ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3 TBSP Dijon mustard
• 1 TBSP honey
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 3 celery stalks sliced
• 1/2 cup Craisins
• 1/2 cup pecans chopped
• 3 TBSP parsley snipped
• 2 cans crescent rolls, refrigerated
• 1 egg – separated, white only

Directions:

• This recipe is perfect for fresh cooked Turkey, or leftovers. It works wonderfully with wild or domestic turkey meat.
• If cooking turkey meat specifically for this recipe, season with crosshairs and garlic powder.
• Preheat Oven or Traeger to 375°
• Cube cooked turkey into small pieces.
• Finley chop celery, parsley, and pecans.
• Shred cheese.
• In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, craisins, and all chopped ingredients.
• Season to taste with crosshairs
• Add shredded cheese, mix well
• Lay triangles of crescent rolls out flat on a baking sheet, end to end, so they create the shape of several diamonds stacked in a line.  Press seams together.
• Fill the centre of the dough with turkey mixture.
• Gently fold the corners of the triangles over the centre to create a wrap.
• Brush the dough with egg white and place onto the Traeger or into the oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
