These herb-infused turkey legs are stuffed with a delightful mixture of vegetables and bacon, creating a savory dish that's perfect for a hearty dinner.
Ingredients
4 pieces Turkey drumsticks
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
3 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon Vinegar
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
1 medium Onion
1 medium Green bell pepper
4 slices Bacon
Method
Make a few vertical cuts down the length of the turkey legs to create pockets for stuffing.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, teriyaki sauce, vinegar, and dried oregano. Add the turkey legs and mix well to coat them evenly. Let them marinate while you prepare the stuffing ingredients.
Finely dice the onion, green bell pepper, and bacon, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size to fit snugly into the slits of the turkey legs.
Gently fill each cut in the turkey legs with the diced green pepper, onion, and bacon mixture.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed turkey legs in the leftover marinade for about 5 minutes. After searing, lower the heat, cover the pan, and let the turkey legs simmer for 40 to 45 minutes until the meat is tender and starts to separate from the bone. If necessary, add a little water to maintain moisture and prevent drying.
