    Turkey Legs

    I like to use them to start a broth. After an hour or so, take the meat off the legs and put the bones back in to finish the broth. The meat is great in chili or other stew type dishes. The turkey broth will be very useful at Thanksgiving for making stuffing (baked separately, basted with the broth) and gravy.
