Stuffed Turkey Legs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup chicken stock
2 turkey legs, with thigh attached
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
3 cups seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup cabernet sauvignon wine
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped

Preparation

Debone turkey thigh up to leg joint. Do not detach deboned thigh meat from leg. Saute mushrooms and artichoke hearts in olive oil until soft. De-glaze the pan with wine. In a large bowl mix the seasoned bread stuffing mixture, herbs, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and pine nuts. Add enough of the chicken stock to give the stuffing a moist soft consistency. Stuff the thigh and close using wooden skewers. Sear turkey leg in a saute pan with hot olive oil until golden brown. Transfer to oven and finish at 400 \u00b0 until done (approximately 20-25 minutes).
