INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE SLOW-COOKED TURKEY LEG
2 lbs (900g) turkey leg
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2-3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon Sriracha, or 1 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
8-10 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium onions, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons raw honey
2/3 cup (150ml) chicken stock

DIRECTIONS
1. To make the slow-cooked turkey leg: Preheat your oven to 370°F (190°C)—season the leg with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy-bottomed, oven-proof casserole with oil over high heat, and brown the leg for 3 minutes on each side. Then add onions, garlic, Sriracha, honey, and thyme; cook for 2 minutes stirring gently, and deglaze with chicken stock. Add the bay leaves.

2. Cover and cook in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours at 370°F (190°C)—or lower 305°F (150°C) for 6-8 hours. Baste regularly with the cooking juices. At the end of cooking, adjust seasoning if needed but there should be enough salt given the chicken stock is reduced.

3. When the turkey meat falls apart quickly, transfer it to a serving platter and shred it with two forks. Enjoy the slow-cooked turkey leg on sandwiches, with a baked potato, white rice, or however else you want to enjoy it.
