Ingredients for Braised Turkey Legs (Pressure Cooker) Recipe

Braised Turkey Legs

4 sl Bacon
4 Turkey drumsticks
2 tb Oil
2 md Onions; quartered
2 Carrots; peeled and sliced
2 Stalks celery; trimmed and chopped
1/4 lb Mushrooms; sliced
2 c Chicken or turkey stock

2 tb Cornstarch

Braised Turkey Legs (Pressure Cooker) Preparation

Wrap the bacon around the turkey drumsticks and secure with wooden toothpicks.

Heat the oil in the uncovered cooker and fry until brown. Remove turkey and set aside.

Brown the vegetables. Drain off excess fat and stir in stock, seasoning, bouquet garni and tomato paste.

Put the turkey legs on the vegetables. Cover with lid and bring to High (15 lb. pressure). Cook for 20 mins.

Reduce pressure quickly. Discard bouquet garni and toothpicks. Put turkey and vegetables in a serving dish.

Mix the cornstarch to a smooth paste with a little water and add a little cooking liquid. Add the mixture to the cooker and bring to a boil, uncovered, stirring until the gravy thickens. Pour over the turkey.

Serving Ideas : Serve with rice or potatoes or hot biscuits/scones split in half.

NOTES : Delicious Flavor. I extended the time required from 15 to 20 minutes as it was still a little chewy. For small pressure cooker, break off ends of legs to fit. Either discard or cook with rest of turkey for extra flavor.
