When I was still living with my mum, brother and sister, we often ate turkey legs. Surprisingly, this was less expensive than chicken at that time and this is tastier from my point of view.
I find turkey meat really tasteful. My granny from my father side used to make me a turkey steak together with a carrot purée each time I was visiting her during my childhood.
When I left home to begin my studies and of tired of eating pasta, this is something I could make me for dinner. It lasted at least three meals Warm or cold, that was always very tasty.
It takes some time to cook in the oven, but the recipe is quite fast and easy. I served it with the roasted potatoes of my other grandma and this was awesome. I will share with you the recipe when I got time to make them again.
