Turkey Legs and Vegetables - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 19

Dark meat contains many specific vitamins and minerals. It has a softer, moister texture than the white meat. A perfect comfort food when you don't feel well. The only problem with turkey legs is all the extra cartilage strings. Cook it, let it cool, and the meat should fall right off, allowing the cartilage strings to stay in your hand. Turkey legs can be bought by themselves, and they only take about two hours to cook in a conventional oven. Even less time in a table top oven. The meat can then be chopped and used in a variety of dishes.
