CURRIED TURKEY LEGS



Curried Turkey Legs image

Adopted! I was born and raised in a small village where most of the residesnt depended on their farm animals for their livelyhood. Our meat was mainly pork and chicken with an occasional pound of hamburger boutht at the butcher shop. Young calves were seldom eaten. The were shipped to market for cash. In those days, a young calf would bring about $75 which would buy a lot of school shoes. When I left home and started to work, I ate mainly in restaurants. I soon loved to enjoy the taste of lamb. In later years I was dining in a restaurant in North Africa, when a diner near me who had just ordered leg of lamb queried the waiter, "Did you know that if you fixed a turkey leg in this manner that it would taste just leg of lamb?" "Yes," the waiter replied, "That's what that is." When I was able to find two turkey legs in the bazaar, I bought them and took them back to my apartment and cooked them basically like this recipe. He was right they did taste just like curried log of lamb and at about a quarter of the price. I have been eating them ever since. I am happy to post this recipe because I know every who likes lamb will enjoy it immensely.

Tips for Making Curried Turkey

  • Choose the right cut of turkey. Opt for bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs or drumsticks, as they are more flavorful and juicy than turkey breast.
  • Brown the turkey before simmering. This will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice color.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste or powder. Look for a paste or powder that contains a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger.
  • Add vegetables to the curry. Vegetables such as onions, carrots, potatoes, and peas are all good choices. They will add sweetness, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Simmer the curry until the turkey is tender. This will usually take about 1 hour, but it may take longer depending on the size of the turkey pieces.
  • Serve the curry over rice or naan bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion

Curried turkey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying curry that the whole family will enjoy.
