How to make
The turkey legs are washed and the top is separated from the bottom to make portioned pieces. Make a paste from the soft butter, paprika, a little salt, black pepper and cumin. The meat is spread abundantly with the mixture.
The sauerkraut is cut into larger pieces, the leeks are peeled from the outer big leaves and chopped. The carrot is peeled and cut into small cubes. They are mixed.
Pour half of the sauerkraut, carrots and onions into a deeper clay pot, which has been greased with oil, arrange the turkey legs on them, put the grains of allspice, bay leaves and pour the remaining half of the vegetables on top.
A 1/2 cup of the sauerkraut juice is diluted with a little water and a drizzle of oil, is added.
The clay dish is covered and the dish is baked in a moderate oven for about an hour and slightly longer.
When the meat is tender, turn off the oven and Turkey with Sauerkraut is left for at least 20 minutes in the turned off but still hot oven to rest before serving.
Enjoy your meal!
