BRAISED TURKEY LEGS WITH WILD MUSHROOM STUFFING



Braised Turkey Legs With Wild Mushroom Stuffing image

During Thanksgiving turkeys were on sale at my supermarket for less than $5, so I couldn't resist getting an extra one, and I wanted to prepare it in a different way. This is a deliciously different way to prepare turkey, created by Wolfgang Punk. Slow braising the turkey makes for a succulent result. I've recreated the recipe here, using less exotic ingredients (foie gras was originally used). The original also called for roasting the turkey breast along side the leg portions, but there was nothing original in that (you basically just roast it until it's 165 degrees internally), so I left that part out.

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/4 cup butter
2 loaves dried bread, crusts removed and cubed
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 lb bacon, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon sage, chopped
1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper
2 turkey legs-thighs, halves deboned
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken stock
2 carrots, peeled, sliced in 1-inch sections
3 stalks celery, sliced in 1-inch sections
1 large onion, cut in 1-inch chunks
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves chopped
2 cups pomegranate juice
butcher string

Steps:

  • First prepare the stuffing by melting butter in saute pan. Poor over bread cubes. Set aside.
  • Rinse dried porcini and soak in warm water for 15 minutes Drain and chop, reserving liquid.
  • Heat olive oil in saute pan over medium heat and add onions, celery, and bacon. Cook until vegetables become translucent. Add porcini, fresh mushrooms, reserved mushroom liquid and stock. Cook over medium heat and reduce until almost dry.
  • Add vegetables to bread cubes along with parsley, sage, rosemary, and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Now prepare turkey leg & thigh sections by removing bones, silver skin, and all tendons. With skin side down, cover with plastic wrap and pound out evenly. Season inside with salt and pepper.
  • Add 8 ounces of mushroom stuffing evenly across middle section. Roll into a tight cylinder. Tie with butcher's string. Season outside with salt and pepper. Heat a roasting pan and add olive oil. Sear meat until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Add carrots, celery, onion and rosemary and cook until brown. Deglaze with chicken stock. Bring to a boil and add turkey. Cover roasting pan with foil and braise in oven for about 2 hours and until internal temperature is 130 degrees.
  • Remaining stuffing may be added to a buttered gratin dish and baked in the 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove foil and finish roasting to get color on the meat, until internal temperature is 140 degrees. Remove legs, set aside on platter, and cover with foil until ready to slice.
  • Add 2 cups of pomegranate juice to the braising liquid and simmer for 10 minutes then puree the sauce through a food mill or a with a blender. The vegetables will thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CORNBREAD, WILD MUSHROOM, AND PECAN STUFFING



Cornbread, Wild Mushroom, and Pecan Stuffing image

Cornbread, toasted pecans, and sauteed wild mushrooms give this stuffing its character. Even after baking inside the turkey, the cornbread and pecans retain their crunch, while the mushrooms add a chewy texture.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Yield Makes 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups pecans
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 cups crumbled Cornbread
5 shallots, finely chopped
1 rib celery, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
10 ounces wild mushrooms (chanterelles, oyster, and shiitake)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Homemade Chicken Stock

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread pecans on a baking sheet. Place in oven to toast until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet. Cut cornbread into 2-inch-thick slices. Place, cut side down, on a 17-by-12-inch baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter. Toast cornbread until golden brown, 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Heat remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet on medium high. Add shallots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper; cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add white wine; continue cooking until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add cream. Cook 30 seconds; remove pan from heat.
  • Crumble cornbread into a large bowl. Add mushroom mixture and toasted pecans; toss.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor to chop the vegetables.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs per 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be tender but still have a little bite to them.
  • If you're using a store-bought turkey, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Stuff the turkey loosely. You don't want to pack it too tightly, or the stuffing won't cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the turkey is cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

This wild mushroom stuffing is the perfect way to add flavor and moisture to your Thanksgiving turkey. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your stuffing savory, sweet, or somewhere in between, this recipe has you covered. So gather your ingredients and get ready to make the best stuffing you've ever tasted!
