Fried Quail
Start Simple
To begin, we recommend starting simple. A wild turkey is a great way to introduce eating wild game to your family. It is very likely turkey is a normal food choice for them, so eating it will come naturally. Also, you can make smaller dishes of wild game. This gives your guests the opportunity to try the game they want without feeling pressured.

Have Options
Next, make sure you have options at your holiday meal. Not everyone will like the same thing. Make a few different dishes with wild game. If your guests choose to, they can try multiple and will likely find one they enjoy.
Marinate or Brine
Another way to add wild game to holiday dishes is, marinating or brining them. Using one of these two methods, you will minimize the wild game flavor in dishes.

Mix Meats
Also, you can mix store-bought and wild game meat together. This technique reduces the wild game flavor or what people refer to as “gaminess”. When guests know the dish contains meats they are comfortable with, they are more likely to try. Pro tip – try adding bacon! Everyone loves bacon!

Slow Cook
Lastly, just like marinating and brining, slow cooking will make for juicier and more tender meat. It will create a savory holiday dish that your guests are sure to enjoy.
