Turkey Leg Cacciatore

[rackemup]

I've always heard that Wild Turkey legs taste terrible.....

Everyone that has said that must be doing it wrong!!  

I decided to take the drumsticks out of the turkey I harvested this past Spring figuring I'll try to make  a Cacciatore in the crockpot, to my amazement it came out pretty Awesome!! And its an easy recipe!!

Ingredients:

2 drumsticks

1 medium onion

1 Green bell pepper diced

3 tablespoons Minced garlic

1 can of peas

1 pack of sliced mushrooms

1 large red potatoe diced

2 cans of tomato sauce 

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 small can of tomatoe paste

1 cup of red wine

Dry Italian seasoning

A pinch of Red pepper flakes

Salt & pepper to taste

 

Preperation: 

Put everything in the Crockpot

Cook in the Crockpot on high for 3 hours, 

And than on low for 3 hours.

I took the drum sticks out to pull the meat off the bones and put the meat back in the crockpot for another hour.

Served over Egg Noodles

You can put a leather boot in a Crock Pot and it will come out tender. Turkey legs are perfectly edible when prepared properly. Just as you did!
