Turkey leg like grandma's

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 turkey leg(s), approx. 2 kg
• 2 onions
• 1 leek(s)
• ½ celeriac
• 3 carrots
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 liter chicken stock
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours

Clean the vegetables, dice them, and place them in a roasting pan with a wire rack insert along with the tomato paste. Score the skin of the turkey thigh and season: salt and pepper the meat side, and only salt the skin side. Place the turkey leg on the rack. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Roast the turkey leg in the oven for about 30 minutes. The vegetables should get a nice brown color. Then add the chicken stock and monitor the liquid level the entire time. When the leg has reached an internal temperature of approximately 70°C (168°F), remove the vegetables and their stock and finish cooking the meat until the internal temperature reaches 72-75°C (160-165°F). Strain the vegetables and stock, bring to a boil briefly, and season and thicken to taste. We like to serve this with potato dumplings and red cabbage.
