Slow Cooked Turkey Leg with Honey Glaze & Garlic
Ingredients
- 4 turkey drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 8-10 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium onions, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 2/3 cup (150ml) chicken stock
Method
- To make the slow-cooked turkey drumstick: Preheat your oven to 190°C. Season turkey leg with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy-bottomed, oven-proof casserole with oil over high heat, brown the leg for 3 minutes on each side. Add onions, garlic, honey, and thyme; cook for 2 minutes stirring gently, and deglaze with chicken stock. Add the bay leaves
- Cover and cook in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours at190°C, or lower at 150°C for 6-8 hours. Baste regularly with the cooking juices. At the end of cooking, adjust seasoning if needed but there should be enough salt given the chicken stock is reduced.
- . When the turkey meat falls apart easily, transfer to a serving platter and shred with two forks. Enjoy the slow cooked turkey leg on sandwiches, with a baked potato, white rice, or however else you want to enjoy it.
