I did a deep dive into the chest freezer last weekend and found a package of turkey leg/thigh of questionable freezer burn appearance and no date. I decided to braise them as per Hank Shaw Carnitas and hope for the best. Mrs kansasdad prefers no cinnamon or peppers (spicy heat not her thing) so they were left out. 200-230 degrees all afternoon and early evening, the house smelled of peppery meaty goodness.
Pulling off a largish piece of thigh meat to taste it, it was with great relief to know that this batch of Kansas free range dark meat was wonderful.
I tried my best to imitate a Jason’s Deli style baked potato topped with the usual toppings suspects plus avocado and a generous layer of the dark meat carnitas.
