Ingredients

1/2 cup chicken stock
2 turkey legs, with thigh attached
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
3 cups seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup cabernet sauvignon wine
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Steps:

Debone turkey thigh up to leg joint. Do not detach deboned thigh meat from leg. Sauté mushrooms and artichoke hearts in olive oil until soft. De-glaze the pan with wine. In a large bowl mix the seasoned bread stuffing mixture, herbs, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and pine nuts. Add enough of the chicken stock to give the stuffing a moist soft consistency. Stuff the thigh and close using wooden skewers. Sear turkey leg in a sauté pan with hot olive oil until golden brown. Transfer to oven and finish at 400 ° until done (approximately 20-25 minutes).
