Hey friends!

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s incredibly simple, super delicious, and budget-friendly too!

? Mustard & Honey Turkey Leg ?

This idea came to me while chatting with my butcher (as usual!). He knows I love slow cooking in the oven and asked me, “Why don’t you try a turkey leg cooked at low temperature?” Good question! I had never made one before… but you know me—I couldn’t resist the challenge!

And he was absolutely right! Slow-cooking works wonders for this mustard & honey turkey leg. The result? Incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.

Why you’ll love this recipe?
? Super easy: Just 5 minutes of prep
? Minimal ingredients: Honey, mustard, a few spices—done!
? Hassle-free cooking: Just pop it in the oven and let it do its thing
? Budget-friendly: Turkey leg is an affordable cut of meat
? Light yet indulgent: Lean meat but packed with flavor

What to serve with your turkey leg?
At home, I paired it with homemade spaetzle (of course!), but you could also go for:
? Steamed potatoes
? Creamy mashed potatoes
? Green beans
? A medley of roasted vegetables

Bonus tip: This dish reheats beautifully over low heat, making it perfect for meal prepping during the week!

? Essential tools
? A large Dutch oven (I used my 31 cm Staub oval cocotte)
? A cutting board
? A sharp paring knife
? A tablespoon

And that’s it! Ready to get cooking?

Let’s go, Chef!
