CONFIT TURKEY WITH CHILES AND GARLIC
With the texture of duck confit, and extra-rich, deep flavor closer to pork carnitas than your average Thanksgiving bird, these turkey legs beg to fall apart with the push of a fork

Steps:
- Combine brown sugar, black pepper, and 2 Tbsp. kosher salt in a small bowl. Place turkey legs in a baking dish just big enough to fit them or a medium Dutch oven. Sprinkle all over with brown sugar mixture and scatter smashed garlic cloves around. Let sit at room temperature at least 2 hours, or chill up to 12 hours (more time makes a big difference).
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 275°F. Cut heads of garlic heads in half crosswise. Nestle around turkey legs along with chiles and oregano sprigs. Pour in oil until turkey is mostly if not completely submerged (shove chiles down since they can burn if above the surface of the oil). You may need a bit more oil depending on your pot and size of turkey legs; don't worry, this oil can be reused in all kinds of ways so it won't go to waste!
- Braise turkey, uncovered, until meat has shrunk away from drumsticks dramatically and meat shreds easily with firm pressure, 3-4 hours (a few bubbles is okay, but anything above a lazy simmer and you should reduce the heat). Let meat rest, still submerged in fat, at least 1 hour.
- Pick out chiles from braising oil with tongs and place in a blender; add red pepper flakes and 1 cup braising oil. Let cool slightly, then blend until chiles are coarsely chopped. Add almonds and pulse until largest pieces are no bigger than a red pepper flake. Add sesame seeds and pulse just to combine. Season with remaining ¼ tsp. salt and add more red pepper flakes if desired.
- If eating right away, heat 2 Tbsp. braising oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook turkey legs, carefully turning with 2 pairs of tongs, until brown and crisp all over, 8-10 minutes. Serve with the almond-chile sauce.
- Don't discard the braising oil or the juices below: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container. Skim off fat to use for roasting potatoes, or your next confit project. Use juices in another braise, or stir into a pot of beans.
- Do ahead: Turkey can be braised 4 days ahead. Let cool, cover and chill (still in oil). Reheat, uncovered, in a 275°F oven until warmed through, about 40 minutes, before browning.

Steps:
- Place the salt and all the herbs into a food processor and process until the salt is pure green. Set aside.
- Place the turkey breasts on a wire rack above a sheet pan and place in the refrigerator to dry for 3 hours. Take out and rub the salt all over the turkey breasts. Return to the refrigerator for another 2 hours. Take out and rinse all the salt off in cold running water. Place back on a clean rack on a sheet pan and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Take the turkey out and place, skin side up, in a deep hotel pan. Cover the turkey completely in the duck fat. Roast in the oven for 3 hours. When it comes out, let it sit for 1 hour to cool off. Serve.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and pepper. Place the turkey legs in a large re-sealable bag and add the salt mixture. Shake around to coat the legs evenly and then seal bag and place in fridge overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add 1/4 cup duck fat. Remove the turkey legs from the bag and brush off excess salt. Add the turkey legs to the pot and brown all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the thyme, cloves, rosemary, star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon, lemon peel and orange peel and then pour over the remaining duck fat so the legs are completely covered.
- Bring to a gentle simmer (without boiling or frying), then remove from the heat, cover and place into the oven. Cook until the meat starts to fall off the bone, about 3 hours.
- Place the legs on a baking sheet. Shred the meat and serve. Reserve the fat and use it to cook gravy, French fries or roasted potatoes. If making ahead of time, remove the pot from the oven and set aside to allow the turkey to cool in the fat. Once cooled, place in the refrigerator overnight to completely chill. To serve, remove the turkey from the fat and crisp in a dry pan to heat through.

Steps:
- Toss turkey, salt, pepper, herbs and garlic in a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for a half-hour or up to 24 hours.
- Put turkey, herbs and garlic in a saucepan just large enough to fit it. Cover with olive oil. Turn heat to medium and watch carefully; allow just a few bubbles to come up at a time. (Use an instant-read or frying thermometer and keep oil at 190 to 200 degrees.) Do not allow meat to brown.
- Cook, turning meat once or twice, for two hours or until it is quite tender but not falling off bone. Remove meat from oil. You can refrigerate turkey and oil separately or together, until needed. (If storing separately, use turkey in a few days; if you store it in oil, it will keep a week or more.)
- When you're ready to cook, put 2 to 4 tablespoons of used oil in a skillet large enough to hold turkey pieces in one layer; set heat at medium-low. (Use leftover oil for other purposes.) Cook turkey pieces slowly, turning once or twice, until browned and crisp, 10 to 20 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, alone or over a bed of greens with a little dressing.

Steps:
- For the turkey:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle the turkey breast liberally with salt and pepper. Rub with the brown sugar and chopped thyme. Wrap in aluminum foil and roast in the oven until the meat has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before opening and slicing.
- For the confit:
- Lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees F. Warm the duck fat in a large pan big enough to hold the legs and thighs. Rub the legs and thighs with salt, and then submerge in the duck fat. Add a sachet of the thyme and the bay leaves to the fat. Cover with aluminum foil and roast until the meat is tender and pulls away effortlessly with a fork, 6 to 8 hours. Remove and let cool in the duck fat overnight.
- Gently warm the turkey confit, just enough to remove the turkey from the fat. Shred the meat into pieces and toss with a little bit of the reserved fat. Reserve some more of the fat for assembling the sandwiches.
- Press the confit into a baking dish or small baking tray in a single 1/2-inch layer. Lay plastic wrap over the tray directly touching the confit, and place another tray on top. Add a few cans or weights to press it down and let it sit overnight.
- Unwrap the confit and cut 1 square per sandwich about the same size as the bread slices. Toast the bread, and then slice the turkey breast very thinly across the grain.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of duck fat in a nonstick pan over medium heat until hot. Place the squares of confit in the pan and fry until brown and crisp on both sides. Spread mayonnaise evenly over the bread slices. For each sandwich, place the confit on one slice and top with another piece of bread. Add 4 slices bacon, some tomato, turkey breast and lettuce. Top with last piece of bread and serve.
SLOW-COOKED GARLIC CONFIT
"Confit" is food that has been preserved in fat, and when this method is applied to garlic cloves, the flavor becomes concentrated, it brings out the natural sweetness, and tames the strong bite. Add to soups, stews, vinaigrette, mashed potatoes, spread on crostini, or eat on its own!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Peel garlic cloves and place into a small 2-cup baking dish or large ramekin. Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with oil, ensuring all cloves are covered. Cover dish with foil.
- Bake in the oven until garlic cloves are soft and just starting to brown around the edges, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Do not overcook, as garlic will become bitter.
- Transfer garlic cloves to a clean jar. Cover lightly with oil. Seal lid and refrigerate; use within 3 to 5 days.

CHICKEN CONFIT (EMERIL LAGASSE 2005)
Confit (meaning meat, such as duck, that has been salted and then cooked and preserved in its own fat) is similar to braising. We watched Emeril make this on Emeril Live and so we made it using half goose fat/half olive oil. It came out wonderfully moist! We made a Southern Pulled chicken sandwich by putting the chicken on some buns with BBQ sauce and cole slaw. It was sooooo good! This recipe works with duck or even turkey leg quarters. Although it's a extremely simple recipe, you will need to begin this recipe 24 hours in advance.

Steps:
- PREP: Lay the leg portions on a platter, skin side down. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt and black pepper. Place the garlic cloves, bay leaves, and sprigs of thyme on each of 2 leg portions. Lay the remaining 2 leg portions, flesh to flesh, on top. Put the reserved fat from the chicken in the bottom of a glass or plastic container. Top with the sandwiched leg portions. Sprinkle with the 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.
- BAKE: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Remove the garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and chicken fat and reserve. Rinse the chicken with cool water, rubbing off some of the salt and pepper. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Put the reserved garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and chicken fat in the bottom of an enameled cast iron pot. Sprinkle evenly with the peppercorns and salt. Lay the chicken on top, skin side down. Add the olive oil. Cover and bake for 12 to 14 hours, or until the meat pulls away from the bone.
- STORING THE MEAT: Remove the chicken from the fat. Strain the fat and reserve. Pick the meat from the bones and place it in a stoneware container. Cover the meat with some of the strained fat so that there is a 1/4-inch layer of fat on top. The chicken confit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. (Epicurious.com states up to 6 months).
- STORING THE OIL: The excess oil can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and used like butter for cooking. The tinge of chicken taste in the oil is wonderful and Emeril uses the oil to roast potatoes, cook green beans, and pan-fry veal.

- In a food processor, pulse 8 of the garlic cloves with the salt, thyme and lemon zest until finely chopped. Add the juniper berries and peppercorns and pulse just until slightly cracked.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Arrange the turkey legs in a large roasting pan and rub with the seasoned salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Pour the duck fat and vegetable oil over the turkey legs and add the remaining 4 garlic cloves to the pan.
- Roast the turkey legs for about 2 hours, turning them every 30 minutes, until the meat is very tender and pulls away from the drumsticks. Transfer the legs to a large pot and carefully strain the fat over them, stopping when you reach the sediment and any caramelized pan juices. Reserve the garlic cloves. Let the turkey legs cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days.
- While the turkey legs are cooling, return the garlic to the roasting pan and set the pan over 2 burners. Add 2 cups of the stock and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom and sides of the pan and mashing the garlic into the juices. Strain the pan juices into a large measuring cup, let cool then refrigerate for up to 5 days.
