Directions

1
Wash turkey thighs and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Peel and quarter onions. Heat oil in a roasting pan. Brown the turkey legs all around. Add the onions and fry.
2
Cook in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 1 hour. Pour on 1/2 litre of water bit by bit. In the meantime peel, wash and halve the potatoes and add them to the turkey legs after about 30 minutes cooking time.
3
Clean, wash and cut the beans into pieces. Add the beans to the potatoes about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Wash, clean and slice the tomatoes and braise the last 5 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, wash the parsley, rosemary and thyme and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Clean the chillies, cut them in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and wash them. Peel the garlic. Coarsely crumble the toast bread. Finely chop with herbs, lemon peel, chilli, garlic, butter and egg in the universal chopper.
5
Remove turkey thighs from the oven. Remove the legs and vegetables from the roaster and keep warm. Pour sauce through a sieve into a pot. Stir cornflour and a little cold water until smooth. Stir into the sauce, bring to the boil and season again.
6
Spread the turkey leg with herb bread mixture and bake in the hot oven for approx. 5 minutes. Cut the turkey legs open and arrange them on the vegetables in the roaster. Serve garnished with parsley.
