Its my birthday and I'll cook if I want to, cook if I want to, cook if I want to. (sung to the tune of "Its My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To." - if you're old enough to remember that one)<BR><BR>Wild turkey legs can be a challenge. Put a thigh, partial breast and a drumstick down in the soon to be famous Apple Honey Marinade from Wildspice (our own Chef Dan & Co) for about 30 hours. Cooked in a butter bake method; half a stick of butter cut up in baking pan, layer of onion slices, floured meat pieces, another layer of onion, the rest of the stick of butter, one cup of water. <BR><BR>
<BR><BR><BR>Very slow oven - 250 degrees F - for 5 hours.<BR><BR><BR>
<BR><BR><BR>Served with sweet corn and breaded fried breaded morels<BR><BR><BR>
<BR><BR><BR>Reminds me of a sweet ham background flavor and wonderful texture to the thigh and even drumstick. Not the least bit tough or stringy. Clean plates again! Trying to rest up for my carrot cake desert later.<BR>
