Wild Turkey Salad (legs & thighs)

[Spring Creek Calls]

A very simple recipe and a great way to use those legs and thighs. Simply put legs and thighs in the crock pot, add water to cover meat. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Place on high for first 8 hours, reduce to medium for remainder, a minimum of 24 hrs. Take meat out  and let cool. Pull meat off bones, if it hasn't already fallen off. I just pull it apart like pulled pork. Add mayonnaise, spicy mustard and your favorite relish, mine is our homemade zucchini relish. A couple slices of toasted sourdough bread, swiss cheese and you're in for a treat.

Looks awesome. Great way to use those parts of a wild turkey.

yep, we've made this for years with legs and thighs. i cook 'em about 10-12 hours on low in the crocker with water and poultry seasoning and the leg tendons pull right out
you can get creative on your ingredients, too. i usually go with mayo, chopped pickles (sweet or dill), red bell pepper and onions, and some herbs, usually thyme and dill
forgot the chopped celery

I'll have to try the crock pot, I just boil mine in a pot until they fall off the bone. I put chopped onion, relish and mayo in mine.

I love the legs and thighs. We use them for a lot of dishes. Several buddies say they aren't fit to eat so they give me to me, and on top of the birds my household kills we eat about a dozen sets of legs and thighs each year.
Just fyi, You can achieve the same tenderness in an instapot pressure cooker in about an hour.
