Well-known member
as part of a low-fat episode. I wouldn't call it a cassoulet but it sounds like a nice one-pot meal. The dried beans go right into the pot--no soaking. I would brown the turkey right in the roasting pan, and of course substitute duck fat for the canola oil.

INGREDIENTS

4 turkey drumsticks

1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

Have you made this yet, Joe? I love turkey legs

and this sounds really good and easy.

 
No, not yet, but it;'s on my list. It's been so cold here (for California) that I'm craving a stew.
