Turkey Two Ways - Roasted Breast & Stuffed Rolled Thigh & Leg Log With Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing

[Moose]

This is a great Wolfgang Puck recipe we've been doing for years. The breast is removed, and the leg meat is deboned, pounded flat, filled with stuffing, then rolled and tied. Sort of like a turkey fatty! Here's the leg meat ready to be stuffed:

Here's everything ready to go in the oven:

Here's everything all carved up and ready to serve:

We had 2 probe thermometers in the meat and pulled when it was just under temp. It was amazing and the breast was the moistest I've ever had!:eusa_clap

I originally planned to do it in the UDS, but I'd lose all my meat drippings which would compromise the turkey gravy. Gotta have meat drippings in the gravy!

Interseting idea. Looks great! Gotta ask, how hard it is to debone the legs? Any tricks to pass along?

It's not too bad once you get the hang of it - debone legs first, then remove silver skin...that's about it.
