Chicken/Turkey Recipes? - CLICK HERE for the Cooking Forum Index
Ranee Mueller
I got a great deal on turkey drumsticks, and I was going to cook them
up and use the meat in different ways. I have a few ideas already, but
was interested in other people's recipes for using chicken or turkey
meat. Casseroles are fine, but must not include cream of anything soup
or instant packets of food stuff. Thanks!

Regards,
Ranee

I use turkey drumsticks to make gumbo. I've posted the recipe lots of
times. The turkey dark meat holds up a lot better to the long cooking
than chicken does.

Best regards, :-)

I agree, turkey legs make great stock and are practically given away,
especially after holidays.

Here is a recipe for conserved drumsticks (in French it is called "confit"):

Drumsticks (chicken of turkey)
Sea salt (not crushed)
Thyme
Sliced garlic
Pepper & salt
Goose of duck fat (or is it called grease in English?)

Marinate the drumsticks over 1 night in a bowl stored in the refrigerator
with thyme, garlic, pepper ans salt and some corns of seasalt. Wipe a bit of
the seasoning.
Put on a pan with the goose or duck fat and heat to almost boiling point.
Turn down the heat add the marinated drumsticks; leave them for about 2 1/2
hours simmering with the lid on. Take them out of the pan, and leave to drip
on to some kitchenpaper. Flavour them with a bit of fresh crushed pepper.
After that bake them cripsy in a pan without any butter or oil. Serve with
chutney made of apricots or plums, some roasted potatoes and mixed salad.

Regards,
Marie-Anne.

How about turkey tetrazzini?

Unfortunately I don't have my step-monster's recipe handy or I'd
share it with you. I'll ask her about it next time I see her...

Why mess with success? My favorite way to prepare turkey legs is
simply to roast them and eat them. It doesn't get any more simple
and tasty than that.

If that idea doesn't sit well with you, how about using roasted
turkey meat by dicing it up and using the meat in turkey noodle
soup or turkey salad?

If you have a meat grinder, you can also filet the turkey legs,
grind the meat, and use it to make turkey tacos.

Thank you. I've saved that recipe for another time.

This is brilliant. We love gumbo! I might have to make some up next
week. We eat about half of it and freeze the rest, so that makes two
meals out of one dish.

Well, for one, because I asked for recipes using the meat. We are on
a very tight budget right now, and it is more economical for us to use
meat as an ingredient than as the main course without adornment. I can
use the turkey meat I bought in about 10 meals if I do it that way, and
only about 3 or 4 if I use it as is. So, though I love it that way, and
I appreciate that you might think that is the best thing to do with
them, it isn't the best thing for our family right now. Fortunately,
Thanksgiving is coming up, and my MIL will be smoking a turkey and we'll
be roasting one, along with one of Rich's aunt's bringing a ham, so
we'll get our fill of roast meat soon enough.

The soup is a good idea, and I will likely use the skin and bones to
make stock after picking the meat off. I can use the stock for soup as
well as for cooking other things to give them more flavor.

That's brilliant! Raw, I'm assuming. We've been looking for reasons
to use the grinder attachment to our kitchen aid for some time now. I
also want to learn how to make sausage, and especially chorizo. Not in
casings, nor smoked, we'll start simple and freeze patties of it, but
I'd love to do that at home.

Regards,
Ranee (who got a whole pork loin for $1.50/lb and roasted half of it
for our dinner the other night, used the leftovers for sandwiches and
hash and still has the other half in the freezer)

Good idea, I will look at that recipe. I strongly dislike mushrooms,
Rich pretty much just tolerates them, though he occasionally likes them
in some dishes, and the kids don't care either way, so I'll have to see
if there are any in the recipe and substitute something else. Please do
check on the step-monster's recipes (is that like my out-laws?).

Regards,
Ranee
