Duck, Duck, Goose, Turkey
December 17th, 2008Witness the Depravity
My good friend Elisson has outdone himself. He has a recipe for turkey legs floating in fat. I am not kidding. Go to his blog, where you will see the meat in question, swimming in a big container of pure duck and goose schmaltz. Where he got that much bird fat is beyond me.
One of my favorite lazy-day dishes is roasted turkey leg with stuffing. I take a crappy turkey leg, season it, put it on a pan, surround it with stuffing, and bake. I don’t know why I make that so rarely. I think it’s because the price of turkey legs went up. I resent having to pay big money for dark meat, even though it’s the best part of the bird.

We roasted a honest-to-goodness, real-live (dead, actually) turduken for turkey day. You should try one. Making one yourself would provide some real ammo for your blog, and you could use all your new power tools for the de-boning. You could even shoot them with your old 12ga.
Merry Xmas, etc.

Man, if only I knew of a cookbook that had a recipe for turducken in it…if I could just think of one…

“You should try one.”
Why does that old expression “teaching your grandmother to suck eggs” come to mind?

“Eat What You Want and Die Like A Man”
Chap 8- “Turducken: Flight of the Hindenbird”.
You can probably find it at Amazon.com. The book also has a few other decent recipes.
Cheers
