BRAISED TURKEY LEGS AND THIGHS

Put a fall spin on this year's Thanksgiving with these maple-braised turkey legs and thighs! They're fall-off-the-bone tender and ultra flavorful.

Ingredients

Turkey legs and thighs Salt and pepper Flour Olive oil Apple cider vinegar Maple syrup Chicken stock Dried bay leaves Fresh sage sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs

In a large stockpot, add potatoes, salt and enough cold water that it covers the potatoes by an inch or two. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.

1

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook until browned, about five minutes. Flip and cook until the other side browns, about another five minutes.

2

Remove turkey and set aside. Cook the onion slices for about four minutes. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and scrap up the brown bits.

3

Stir in the maple syrup, chicken stock and herbs. Add turkey and bring to a boil. Move the Dutch oven to the  oven and cook uncovered until the leg meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, about 2 hours.

This was absolutely delicious! My husband even requested it again for Christmas Eve. Tender, moist, and flavorful...things that are usually hit or miss with roasting a whole turkey.
