Cooking the Sous Vide Wild Turkey Breast

For this sous vide wild turkey breast Mediterranean salad, you’ll start with perfectly cooked turkey. If you haven’t tried this method yet, it’s a game changer.

Season your wild turkey breast generously, then place it in a bag with:

  • A slice of lemon
  • Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme)
  • Olive oil to coat
  • Your favorite seasoning blend

Sous vide at 140°F for 9–12 hours.

Once it finishes, remove the turkey and pat it dry. You can either:
