Legs from game birds are often neglected in the kitchen and unfortunately sometimes left in the field. Game birds are generally leaner and tougher than their farm raised kin. Wild turkeys tend to run and walk more than they fly and this results in very thick sinew and tendons all through the legs. The leg meat is darker in colour but rich in flavour, and on a wild turkey quite large. This is why we don’t want to waste them. These cuts are perfect for braising and it the best way to tenderize the meat and pull it from the bone, sinew and tendons resulting in a very tender and flavourful meal.
For the recipe’s preparation, if you want you can also use a flaky pastry from the grocery.
