Rub-a-dinde-dinde

It's been a while...certainly! Here's a lil' something I whipped up last night for dinner with my cousin. The sauce was inspired by one of my fave restaurant sauces in Miami, curry mustard sauce, that comes with Chicken Kitchen chopchop. I've made before a mustard, honey, and curry sauce that has a nice tang to it but this time around I turned it into a nice sauce to rub on the legs with dillweed. Hope you enjoy :)

Rub-a-dinde-dinde ingredients
1    tbs solid honey
1    tbs maille fins gourmet semi-smooth and semi-grainy mustard
1    tsp yellow curry powder
1    tbs olive oil
1/3 tsp dillweed
Sprinkle:
Ginger, lemon, parsley infused salt (buy at the Marche Bastille on Sundays) or fleur de sel, sel de guerande
cumin
ras el hanout
nutmeg
cinnamon

And last but not least
Turkey legs!
2-3  tbs olive oil
2     tsp unsalted butter
Casserole suggested: large Le creuset as long as the cover doesn't have a plastic knob so you can place the whole thing directly from the stove to the oven.


    The rub-a-dinde-dinde starts off with mixing the honey, mustard, and curry until smooth and completely incorporated, then slowly add the curry powder. Add the olive oil and the other ingredients left on the list. Rub a nice coat of it all over the turkey legs.
     When using a le creuset, slowly heat it up in the oven, place it on the stove on high with the tablespoons of olive oil and unsalted butter and bring it all up to temp. Then place the turkey legs skin down in the casserole for 5 min and sear on both sides to seal in the moisture and flavor. When done, add another nice coat of the sauce, cover and place in the oven at 200c for 15-20 minutes or until the meat on the bone is cooked without being dry. Serve with au gratin potatoes and veggies :) Remember to use the au jus as a side sauce or pour on top.
