10 3/4 oz. can Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 cup chicken broth, less sodium
1 tablespoon Wild Bill's Meat Rub
1 teaspoon Morton table salt

Above Wild Turkey Breast prepared on 04-18-17 and was excellent. However, it was not as tender as I would have liked it to be, because I did not brine or place the turkey breast in a marinade. A few more hours in the crock pot would have been in order, but still a very palatable tasty meal! Wild Turkey has its own unique flavor, if you don't overkill or mask it with a marinade. This is the same psychology for not using any kind of steak sauce on a steak! I want the taste of the steak and not the sauce.

NOTES: I did not brine the turkey breast but only soaked it in salt water. The Wild Turkey was in the crock pot around 12 hours due to not brining before hand and/or using my basic game marinade. If you choose not to brine and/or marinade, slice the turkey breast across the grain in about 1 inch thick slices which will reduce the crock pot cooking time.

The Wild Turkey Breast had a wonderful flavor with just a little kick to it from my Wild Bill's Meat Rub and the freshly ground black peppercorns.
