This recipe is perfect for wild turkey meat, which can be a little on the dryer side compared to store bought turkey.  By soaking the meat in buttermilk overnight, you lock in the moisture and enrich the flavor of the meat. The quick pan fry will also keep the meat moist.  You can play with the seasoning of the flour to suit your taste.

1 ½ pounds wild turkey breast meat
