Time 8h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Smoked Turkey Legs, recipe follows
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced apple
1 tablespoon pecans, roasted
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 quarts water, hot
225 grams kosher salt
225 grams dark brown sugar
1100 grams (about 2.5 pounds) ice
6 turkey legs
1 cup unsalted chicken stock

Steps:

  • Remove the skins from the Smoked Turkey Legs, pull off the meat and chop into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Place the turkey, celery, apple, pecans, vinegar, parsley, black pepper and mayonnaise in a medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine and serve.
  • Place the water, kosher salt and brown sugar in an 8-quart plastic container and stir until fully dissolved. Add the ice before submerging the turkey legs in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
  • Set up your favorite smoker and add a handful of hardwood chunks. If you have heat control, set it to 150 to 170 degrees F and allow the wood to smoke for approximately 30 minutes.
  • While the smoker is heating, drain the legs, pat them dry and arrange them on a rack. Smoke the legs on the rack for 3 hours, rotating the legs halfway through.
  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Make 2 pouches out of double-layered heavy-duty tin foil, adding 3 legs and 1/2 cup of chicken stock to each pouch. Braise the legs in their pouches for 1 hour, then carefully drain and reserve the jus.

HARVEST SUPPER SALAD WITH SMOKED TURKEY AND APPLES



Harvest Supper Salad With Smoked Turkey and Apples image

From Cooks Illustrated: Main course salads make a simple, quick weeknight dinner. Typically, they involve little more effort than chopping a few ingredients and blending vinaigrette. We wanted to make a seasonal salad in which the sweet flavor of smoked turkey took center stage. Here's what we discovered: Test Kitchen Discoveries Have the deli counter cut the slices of turkey extra thick; cut the slices into thick strips to serve. Mix together tender green or red leaf lettuce with shredded red cabbage for flavor and textural contrast. Tart dried cherries or cranberries add sharpness to balance the sweet-tasting turkey and a chewy texture to contrast the tender greens, crisp apples, and crunchy nuts. Toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat to intensify their flavor. NOTE: If you like, walnuts can be used in place of almonds in this main-course salad.
