Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 ½ kg turkey leg(s) (upper leg)
  • 10 sprigs of thyme
  • 3 tbsp grainy mustard
  • ½ cup cream or sour cream
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 hours 30 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours 50 minutes

Slowly cooked on thyme, wonderfully tender

Wash the turkey leg and pat dry, season with pepper and salt. Then rub the meat all over with the mustard. Wash the thyme stalks, shake them dry, and arrange them in a sufficiently large roasting pan so that the turkey leg covers the stalks. Cook in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for at least 3.5 hours. Remove the meat and wrap it in aluminum foil. Combine the stock with the cream or sour cream, bring to a boil, and serve. Serve with hearty side dishes such as dumplings, red cabbage, or potatoes.
