If you have ever watched a cooking or recipe video on social media, you have probably seen the popular Mississippi Pot Roast. The combination of meat, usually a roast, onions, pepperoncini peppers, ranch dressing powder, and brown gravy offers up a nice balance of tangy and rich flavors. That same flavor palate works well with wild turkey. Make them into skewers and cook them on the grill and you have an excellent summer evening meal.

Mix in the brown gravy and ranch packets, along with the Italian dressing.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to marinate. Once they have soaked in the marinade for a bit, it's time to skewer them up. Pre-heat your grill to 350 degrees. While it heats, grab a few bamboo or metal skewers. Alternate turkey breast, red onion, and peppers. Once you have used up all your marinated ingredients, place the skewers on the grill.
