Turkey Legs with Potatoes & Broccoli

Well, here is a simple Sunday roast that will give you more time to rest and less cooking.



Here in Australia, Turkey legs ar inexpensive and available on the supermarket at an average Aus $5.80 per Kg (April 2014) so I believe it will cost more for the Broccoli than the Turkey itself...

Rub a lot of THYME (fresh preferably, if you have a herb garden) with mashed Garlic and Salt on the Turkey, Use a bit of Olive Oil and Salt & Black Pepper to complete your "marinate".
Cover with glad wrap and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight if you like.

Désirée potatoes are a good choice to to cut in quarters and you can sprinkle a bit of Thyme on them and add some Olive oil to place it all in the oven at 210º.



For how long?
It will depend on the weight of the Turkey!
The easy way is this: Use a bamboo stick to check the Turkey leg, if it goes through easily, It is DONE!

Broccoli - I personally like "Broccollini". Broccolini is a green vegetable similar to broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thin stalks.


Place the Broccolini on a steamer and cook gently, I prefer it with a bite (not soft)

On a small pan with Olive Oil, put some chopped Garlic and slowly heat it until brown, just before serving,

Pour the Garlic Olive Oil on top of your Broccolini.

Enjoy it with a Merlot wine.
