Turkey Recipe:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 

Rinse turkey legs and pat dry; season all over with salt and pepper and a good pinch poultry seasoning.

warm a large Dutch oven over high heat and add butter flavor coconut oil or olive oil. Add turkey legs, skin side down. Brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate.

Deglaze with 1/2 cup of the chicken stock and cook, scraping up brown parts from bottom and reduce, cooking about 2 minutes. Lower heat to medium-high. Add one minced clove garlic(optional) rosemary, thyme, bay leaves and poultry seasoning, and more stock; bring to a boil.

bake for 50 minutes.

Uncover, turn turkey legs, and bake uncovered until legs are tender, 50min-2 hours more until cooked through (if using thawed will take longer, the size will also make a difference).

Transfer turkey legs to a plate. season the leftover gravy liquid with salt and pepper, and pour over turkey legs. Sprinkle with thyme and serve with yams and cranberry sauce.

If you dont have a dutch oven these can be braised on the stovetop

serve with cranberry sauce if desired.
