Turkey legs

[treein dixie]

Saw a post the other day on here using the legs in a recipe. Can you post or lead me to it. Or how do others make use of the legs?
Thanks

Any sort of slow cook method. Par-boil them, pick the meat, and then use them for whatever you want. I've made curry with them before that was very good (although you could put just about anything in curry and not notice).

I like to smoke them on a smoker and make like chicken salad out of them.

I pressure cook them and the thighs to make carnitas.

Simmer turkey legs and thighs in stock until you can pick the meat. Make a gravy with the stock, put the picked meat in there and frozen vegetables to your liking. Cover with puff pastry or pie crust and bake until golden.

We made fajitas. 1 to 1 1/2 hours in pressure cooker. Add onions, celery, favorite seasonings.

Meat will pull off bones by then. Shred and follow instructions on fajitas mix packet. Or make your own blend. We found that the legs and thighs resemble beef in texture and flavor.
