Turkey leg cooking suggestions please

I need a little help on deciding what to do with this big old Turkey leg that my wife brought back from the supermarket, not really used to seeing just the leg but at just over 3.5lbs it seems pretty big! any great cooking suggestions guys and girls?

 

Bone it and stuff it. Pull all the tendons when you bone. Nice slices after you roast it.

 

I'm a sucker for Turkey that has been smoked, I'd suggest that.

 

Ahh that British Turkey! http://www.britishturkey.co.uk/

I like Mikes suggestion but then as Christopher said give it some low and slow on the BBQ. Perhaps some sausage,broccoli rabe and taters?

 

Another one for smoke it. Maybe Ballatine (Gallatine?) first. Light smoke, low heat. Finish in hot skillet or oven to crisp skin. Feed wife. Celebrate something.

 

Bone it and season for confit: salt, sugar, thyme, bay etc.

After a day, confit in fat (duck is best). You'll have melt-a-way turkey. From there you can make rillettes, pate, cassoulet....you pick.

 

I can't believe I'm reading these with enthusiasm after all the turkey I've had. These must be great ideas.

 

I'm thinking of shopping 2morrow. First time I've ever seen turkey leg and confit used together.

 

Great ideas, thanks guys! I will post up a pic of it finished once I have decided which way to do it.

 

turkey leg confit with small diced roasted sweet potatoes is out of control

 

Braise it slowly with some chunky veg and spuds.
That cast iron pot you have is just about right for the job.
Probably next time as this must have been eaten long ago.

 

Thanks for the advice, that pot has been great for lots of dishes!!
Can't believe it was over 4 months ago that I asked that question, time is flying by at the moment!!

Smash in a terrine mould and press later cut thick slices and fry on the pan, grill in a panini between some bread or eat cold with some chilled dry riesling!
