Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey legs
• 1 cup White wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 large Carrots, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh or dried
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary, fresh or dried
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the turkey legs dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey legs on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the turkey legs to the crock pot.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic, chopped onion, and sliced carrots until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the white wine, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, and any remaining salt and pepper to the crock pot, ensuring the turkey legs are partially submerged in the liquid.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the turkey legs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 6

Once the turkey legs are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter and keep warm.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the crock pot and stir well.

Step 8

Turn the crock pot to high and allow the sauce to thicken for 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the thickened wine sauce over the turkey legs and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
