Fettuccini is one of our favorite meals by far, especially when it's made with wild turkey meat instead of the typical chicken. This is one of those recipes that's actually really easy, and you can pull off a meal worthy of an Italian restaurant without too much effort or time. What makes it extra special is it's a chance to consume some of that organic, free range wild game meat that you harvested yourself. Whether you share it with friends and family, or save it all for yourself, there may not be many leftovers after serving this up!

Wild Turkey Fettuccini Cooking Instructions:
1. Clean and cut the wild turkey breast into bite sized pieces. Pat dry using a paper towel.

3. While cooking your turkey, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccini according to the package directions.
4. Sauté the turkey until it's cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season it with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper.
