Un Vraiment Délicieux Turkey Leg

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Season ya meat pretty heavily. When cooking in the bag the juices will accumulate and "wash" some of the seasoning off later. Don't coat it on like a rub or get weird with the salt just season it well. Like a little more than normal but not by much.
- 2
Place the leg(s) in the plastic bag with the butter (and garlic if you have it). I tend to use quart/gallon sized bags depending on the need. Use the immersion technique to seal and make the bag air tight(google it - it's easy) or vacuum seal.
- 3
Via your sous vide or the stove and a thermometer - heat up a large pot of water to a constant 145° F.
- 4
Place the bagged mostly air tight meat in the water. You can add it before the water is up to temp. It doesn't matter. Make sure the bagged meat is under the water - use something to hold it under if needed. If sealed properly it shouldn't float.
- 5
Leave the bag in there cooking for 20 hrs. Yes 20.
- 6
Snag bag and dump out juices or save them if you wish to make a gravy or sumn.
- 7
Slap em in the oven or an air fryer on 400° for about 10 min. This is just to get the skin crispy. Don't over do it.
- 8
Eat it. It's the best turkey leg you've ever had. C'est bon.

This turkey recipe uses orange wedges and aromatics to add flavor, while a champagne broth works its magic to keep the turkey moist and tender. My grandmother and mother passed this recipe on to me. It changes a little every Thanksgiving, because I've never written the recipe down before. But the roast turkey is always incredibly juicy and succulent!

Traditional Roasted Turkey Traditional Roasted Turkey
I've been roasting turkeys for several years now, and not a just on thanksgiving. While I will say that smoking a turkey is the absolute best you can get (yes, even over frying), sometimes you want those traditional autumn flavors of sage and thyme with salty crackly turkey skin that comes from a traditional roasting process. I use a dry brine and place a compound butter under the skin to give the meat an extra layer of herbed flavor. The turkey is spatchcocked, which not only cuts down the cooking time and exposes the skin for crisping that typically get soggy with a whole bird roast, but it allows the turkey to lay flat so you can fit other things in the oven while it's cooking.

A little creation I came up with to change it up. Quite simple but the Turkey was in the water for 24 hours. If you have never had a so called Mac n cheese with the Béchamel sauce replacing the cheese you must try!

Not Your Grandmother's Turkey Not Your Grandmother's Turkey
This recipe has become a staple for my family and friends. My wife and many of my friends hated turkey and I always had to make a ham to go along with the turkey. When I asked them why they didn't like it they all had the same answer "It's so dry!". I couldn't really argue with them, most of the turkey I had through my life was dry as well but I'm a gravy fiend so I didn't really care.This recipe creates anything but a dry turkey, make sure you have a deep ridged cutting board to catch all the juice that is going to come from this bird when you carve it.This recipe uses multiple methods to make sure that you end up with the juiciest turkey possible. First off we are going to brine the bird, second we will spatchcock it to keep direct heat off the meat, third we use a binder to lock in the moisture.

Ginger and lemon turkey (or chicken) Ginger and lemon turkey (or chicken)
Even though daily cooking tends to be quite repetitive, sometimes you stop making something for no clear reason. The other day my eldest son was fondly remembering a chicken dish I used to make for a quick and tasty school day dinner years ago. So I made it as a Summer lunch today, using turkey instead of chicken, and happily it tasted the way he remembered 😊

Saucy Honey Turkey (or Chicken) Saucy Honey Turkey (or Chicken)
I bought a couple pounds of turkey breast "strips" on sale which turned out to be already cut up turkey breast so I whipped this up to go with some of my fried rice. Yum!This made a LOT more sauce than I thought it would so if you want it less saucy you could cut the sauce ingredients in half or double the meat.

Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast
This turkey breast was the best we have had smoked,. Turkey can end up dry if your not careful to take it out and wrap it before it's cooked completely through.We took it out at an internal temperature of 150, wrapped it well and the ambient heat cooked it to perfection, it was so juicy and tender. The spice rub is spicy, so if you want it milder decrease the sriracha and black pepper some. -

Mild meaty turkey legs retain delicate flavors like lavender oil, rose water, thyme, lemon zest and honey when marinated and then grilled just enough. This oil, honey and balsamic marinade creates a crispy crust with juicy meat inside.
