2 Turkey legs with bones (approx. 1.2 kg each)
3 red peppers
300 g Onions
2 Garlic cloves
4 TABLESPOONS Oil
1 TABLESPOON Sweet peppers
7-10 Tbsp Cayenne pepper
7-10 Tbsp Salt
400 g Whipped cream
3 TSP Instant vegetable stock
20 g Butter or margarine
2 can(s) (850 ml each) mild wine sauerkraut
2 Bay leaves
10 Juniper berries
1/4 l apple juice
7-10 Tbsp Pepper
7-10 Tbsp Parsley

Directions

1
Wash the turkey legs, dab dry and remove the bones. Cut the legs into 5-6 pieces each. Clean, wash and chop the peppers. Peel onions and garlic. Cut onions into slices, press garlic through a garlic press.
2
Heat the oil in a roasting pan, fry the turkey parts in it vigorously while turning. Finally, add the diced peppers, 2/3 of the onions and garlic and fry briefly. Season with paprika powder, cayenne pepper and salt.
3
Deglaze with 600 ml water and cream, stir in 2 teaspoons of broth. Bring to the boil, cover and braise in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 60-70 minutes. Heat the fat in a saucepan and lightly fry the remaining onion slices.
4
Add the sauerkraut, bay leaf and juniper and braise for about 10 minutes until the sauerkraut begins to brown. Pour in apple juice and 1/4 litre of water, stir in 1 teaspoon of broth, season with pepper. Cover and stew for about 20 minutes.
5
Approximately 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove the lid from the roast turkey. Turn the turkey parts with the skin side facing upwards and finish cooking without the lid until crispy. Season sauerkraut with salt and pepper.
6
Season the paprika cream with salt and pepper as well and arrange it on a deep plate with the turkey parts. Garnish with parsley. Add sauerkraut. Parsley potatoes taste good with it.
