I don't know if I can get these so late into it but I just found out that my
mom isn't doing Thanksgiving dinner this year. My husband prefers just the
legs and a lot of them. Two is usually not enough for him but if two is all
I can get, then that is what I will cook. I usually cook 6 to 8 of them for
him and they will last 2 or 3 days.

I have made them in the crock-pot in the past. One was a recipe with BBQ
sauce but he didn't like those at all.

The next few times I made them I used a recipe I found online somewhere but
I don't think I have it any more. I think it just called for salt, pepper
and a little sage. May have been a bit of water. The problem with doing
them in the crock-pot is that he can smell them cooking and then he wants
them right away. But of course it takes many hours in the crock-pot. And
then he was less than thrilled with the end result. He did eat them a few
times but the last time I made them there were leftovers that never got
eaten.

I am not worried about food for my daughter or myself. We're not big into
Thanksgiving foods because we eat turkey every month or two throughout the
year. For us I will get some form of pre-cooked turkey breast. And even if
I have to use the little packets of Buddig I already have in the fridge, we
will be fine with it. We mainly like the mashed potatoes anyway. I may
also make cornbread using some gluten free mix that is about to go bad.

So does anyone have a good recipe for doing the legs only? Maybe in the
oven or on top of the stove? One that would have a Thanksgiving flavor?
Not BBQ or fruity or any of the other many recipes I have seen for these.

Thanks!

Hmmm... Well that I don't know. I am not a big turkey lover. I've had
turkey enchiladas. They were okay but I would have rather it been some
other meat or beans or cheese.

I do not like turkey soup at all. Or turkey and noodles. I made that the
one year that my mom once again said she was allergic to chicken. She keeps
going back and forth on that one! Bleh.

What my parents used to do was mix chopped cooked turkey with halved grapes,
walnuts, celery and mayo. It was edible but again I would have preferred a
different meat.

You snipped my post. He doesn't eat them all at once.

It's not from turkey legs, dollface.

Smoke them, then roast them. Eat them with your hands, caveman style.
Make sure there's some crispy skin.

They were sold this way as a walkabout snack at the last Renaissance
Faire I went to.

Yeah. I made the mistake of buying those one year for my husband. I was
like... Woo hoo! All I have to do is heat them up! He wouldn't eat them.
He said they sucked too.

Make some suffing andlay it on the ottom of the crockpot, putthe legs on top
and slowroast hem. I presume he isn't a dog so he should understand "Not
done yet". Aternately, just do them in oven same way.

That just won't work. We aren't going to have stuffing. And you don't know
my husband.

Why does that not surprise me? One could have stuffing.

You knew that before you asked for ideas.

One could. But we don't.

Yes. And I didn't ask about stuffing or crock-pots. I already said I have
made them in the crock-pot and that didn't work very well. So I asked if
there was a way to do them in the oven or on the stove. And you simply said
to do them in the oven. You didn't say for how long. And there will be no
stuffing. I am making corn muffins. We can not have that and stuffing. We
all have to watch our carbs.

I like this forum very well.

Again... I didn't say he ate them all in one sitting. He likes to eat them
over the course of two to three days. If I took the time to cook only two
turkey legs it would rather be a waste of my time. Eh? Might as well cook
6 to 8 of them and then not have to worry about cooking his food for a few
days. Jeez!

As for you not being able to eat one turkey leg, that I do not know. I have
never eaten a turkey leg nor would I. But I have a pic of all the males in
my family save for my dad eating a turkey leg. They ate other foods along
with it as well. They didn't have a problem.

Easiest and best is to simply oven roast them... line em up in a
roasting pan head to toe like sardines, season however you like and
pop in a medium oven for like an hour and a half... can turn them to
brown evenly or place on a shallow rack. I don't think I'd like
braised turkey drum sticks.

I hate most of what is at fairs. I do like looking at the animals but don't
like the smell. I like the flowers and veggies. I also go with a purse full
of food in case I get hungry. But the drinks? Yikes! That's where I wind
up spending all my money. Sometimes I can get lucky and there will be a
water fountain where I can keep filling my water bottle. But usually not.

Bullshit. You said:
"My husband prefers just the legs and a lot of them. Two is usually
not enough for him but if two is all I can get, then that is what I
will cook. I usually cook 6 to 8 of them for him and they will last 2
or 3 days."

One turkey leg should be more than adequate for an adult and if he is
eating 2 or 3 at a time...... 6-8 legs lasting 2-3 days....DO the math,
He is eating 2-3 turkey legs per day. That is gluttony.

It is when you are eating 2-3 of them in a sitting. It may not be just
the turkey, but it should give you an indication of how much he is
shovelling into his mouth.

That's "sliced very thin" lunchmeat from the grocery store. I have a pack
of Buddig turkey meat on my grocery list for today. You'll see it in the
section by the bologna and other lunch meat.

How do you know it's one sitting? Maybe he has one for lunch and one
for dinner. Lots of people here in rfc eat the same thing day after
day, so it's not a foreign concept.

Thanks. Is Buddig supposed to be a brand name? How disgusting!
Whoever thought up that one should be fired. It sounds like butt-dig.

I love turkey legs but even I can't eat more than one at a sitting. To
eat 6 to 8 in two days would be quite a feat.

I put mine in a pan with a little water, cover tightly with aluminum
foil and bake for about 60 to 90 minutes at 325... or until the meat is
almost falling from the bone.

I would start with veal stock and red wine. You could use chicken stock.
Then the usual cast of characters to choose from: onion, celery, carrot,
garlic, thyme, beer, tomato product, etc.

LOL! That's actually what I jokingly call it. BTW, the sliced chicken is
the best if you ever try that brand.

PS - for about the same price per pound, you can get better meat from the
deli. the BUTT-DIG lunchmeat is just a quick buy if you don't need much. I
usually grocery-shop at 6am before the deli counter opens.

No, I know it's not, it's from people who think that two turkey legs
isn't enough. I have a healthy appetite and I couldn't finish one turkey
leg without forcing myself. Turkey legs are one hell of a lot bigger
than chicken drumsticks.

Buddig is good for creamed chipped beef but not much else. And you're
right about the price. Unless you get it on a bogo type sale it's not
cheap. I've shopped our main store for years but I wouldn't know
where to find the area Buddig would be. It's nice to have several
stores with great deli counters.

I'm not a big turkey fan, so even two days in a row is too much for
me. However, some people *here* have admitted to making a big pot of
whatever and eating it all week. Eating like that would not be my
choice, but they don't mind.

Thanks again, Gary! We buy rotisserie chicken for sandwiches and
there's one presliced black forest ham that hubby likes for
sandwiches. For some reason, the brand name doesn't stick in my head
so he's the one who finds it to put in the basket.

Thanks, sounds tasty. Maybe I'll give it a try with thighs
sometime... or maybe Julie will give it a go and report back.

Yes, it was clear from the start..... that he eats 2 or more at a time.
She went on to explain that she makes 6-8 at a time and they last 2-3
days. That means he is eating 2-3 turkey legs a day. That is a hell of a
lot of turkey for one person to be eating.

Do the math. She claimed that she was making 6-8 at a time and they
lasted 2-3 days. That is more than 2 per day. Turkey legs usually weigh
at least 1 lb, do that is a hell of a lot of turkey. I don't question
that some people here might eat the same thing day after day. What I was
agreeing with is that eating that much of anything would lead to obesity.

It's more turkey than I'd want to eat, but he's a big eater according
to what she's written in the past and one turkey leg per meal isn't
that big of a deal considering they aren't all meat and one bone the
way a thigh is.
