PRESSURE COOKED AND ROASTED TURKEY LEG
Who said you can only eat turkey around the Holidays? This
fabulous recipe is for you to use all year around, especially in the summer
months because it’s fast and won’t heat up your kitchen, unless you really want
to :)
The only accessory you will need is a PRESSURE COOKER!
Any parts of a turkey you desire to make will become the
tenderest and juiciest meat you’ve ever tasted in your life. Women in menopause
or peri- menopause are in desperate need of Triptophan the so called calming
amino acid found in turkey. Believe me,
I should know :)
I’m a turkey addict, and proud of it. :)
INGREDIENTS:
- Pressure cooker
- 3-4 turkey legs, thighs, wings or breast, whichever parts you desire
- 1 red onion, coarsely chopped
- ½ green Italian pepper – sliced lengthwise
- ½ red Bell pepper – sliced lengthwise
- 8-9 cloves of garlic – sliced
- 1 Tbs. of Vegeta or Garlic salt
- 1 pinch of paprika
- 3 cups of water
- 3 Tbs. of olive oil
Clean and spice up your turkey legs with garlic salt, black
pepper and paprika.
Slice up your onions, garlic, green and red peppers and put
them in the pressure cooker, fill it up with the water and olive oil, add the
Vegeta and paprika and place the pre seasoned turkey legs inside. Cover it with the lid and put it on high
flame until you hear the steam sounds coming out.
CAREFUL! STEAM IS
HOT!
Lower the flame to medium and start reading your favorite
book. In about 1 hour you can stop cooking it.
Place the pressure cooker under the cold water faucet in the
kitchen sink and release the knob/s. When the cooker cooled off and the inside
steam is gone, the lid will fall in by itself.
Do NOT handle it yourself. Now you can take out your turkey in a ceramic
or any oven proof serving dish and pour half of the cooking juices over the
bird parts.
Prepare your oven at 375 degrees and place the turkey inside
the oven to roast for 20 minutes.
If you are like my hubby and prefer anything meaty without
the bones in it, be a good housewife and before putting your birdie in the oven
to roast, take out the bones.
I know, he’s spoiled rotten :):)
You can serve this with any garnish you desire and a nice
side salad. I made it with roasted garlic mashed potatoes with fried apple and
onion garnish on top and a red onion, baby tomato and arugula salad with honey Dijon home made dressing
and a dollop of cranberry sauce.
EGESZSEGEDRE!
BON APPETITE!
