Butchers Block
Often overlooked, wild turkey legs and thighs deserve a second chance at the table. In this recipe, we break down the art of “ditch cleaning”—a tongue-in-cheek term for salvaging these tough cuts—and turn them into something tender, rich, and deeply flavorful. With a dry-brine aging process, a low-and-slow braise, and a savory sugo sauce, you’ll transform wild turkey into a gourmet dish worth every bite. Serve it over creamy polenta with roasted vegetables, and you’ve got wild game comfort food at its finest.
Tailgating season is here, and nothing beats the thrill of grilling bratwurst before the big game.

Whether you opt for a pre-made pork bratwurst or a DIY wild game kit, the secret is in the preparation: simmering the brats in beer for a juicy, flavorful result before grilling or smoking. Pair with doctored-up sauerkraut and sweet stoneground mustard for an unforgettable tailgate feast.
