Walt Disney Baked Turkey Legs - Party Time

Walt Disney Baked Turkey  Legs  -  Party Time

I remember  going to Walt Disney world for the first time and  I kept seeing  a lot of people  walking around  with this large  chicken leg, it had to  an ostrich leg for it was too big, I really never seen anything like it. At this time I did like to cook and was just getting started in culinary School , so  to me that was a strange and  weird thing they were eating.

Well  I managed to track it down to these little  tiny booths and the lineup was crazy.  So in line I went, grabbed one and to my surprise they were really  nice,  juicy, smoky and   tender .  Never at that time would I guess it was a turkey for their meat is mostly  dry and bland, but it was out of this world.

I grabbed  my leg and walked down the pathway  and munched  on it like untamed animal for  I was enjoying it too much, I ‘am now ashamed to say that I had about two a day and  every time I return to the park, I would  go straight  to the booth  and  grab one.

I really hope that you will enjoy my recipe here, for I have to say it comes very close to the ones selling in the Disney Theme Park . I have returned to the Park about  eight  times, boy ! that’s a lot of turkey legs.

Try them  “Mickey”   would be proud…..:)

Recipe.....

3  Lg. Turkey legs

Brine
 Water to cover legs
1/4 Cup or less - Salt
3 Tbsp - Sugar
1 Tbsp. - Hp, Worcester sauce or Margie.
Alternative - Add liquid smoke

1 Tbsp - Olive oil per leg
1 Cube - Veggie, chicken stock


Smoke 
1/2 Cup rice
1/2 Tbsp. - Sugar
1 Tbsp. - Cooking oil

Bake on a rack with aluminum foil on the bottom of the pan with 2 Tbsp of the smoke mixture and add more  to it during the baking to create more smoke.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 mins., and turn them around about half way through. Then bake at 200 degrees for anywhere from 45 mins to 1 hour, turning them around at least once.  


*************************************************************************************************************

Make sure that you mix the brine solution very well and have the  legs completely under the waterline. At this point you can add "liquid Smoke " to it if you prefer and that will give you a stronger smoke taste.

This mixture of rice will burn off and give you a smoke taste to the legs, not as good as a smoker but the taste is not far behind. I know some add wood chips to the bottom of the pan to produce the smoke, and I'am sure it's a good idea but I do not want any wood burning in my oven, I just do not trust the method.

So easy to eat and serve. Add a piece of foil to the bottom drum and off you go walking down the street with everyone looking at you and asking where did you get that from. The perfect portable food.

Well  I just could not wait for my Friends to come over for a get together. This turkey leg was just asking me for a bite and  "I could not resist". Anyways   I did not show it on the video but I had another three in the fridge  ready to go.

Now how did this get here ?

Lazy Man's Rose Pasta - Budget Recipe.

Lazy Man's  Rose Pasta - Budget Recipe.

Rose  Pasta so Easy, so Fast and for the Budget  Minded, I  Know You Will  Enjoy  It…..:)

Sometimes you just want that simple fast meal without all the trouble and  to  find the simple  things that you have every day  in your fridge.  

With this recipe, you will find that even with this  simple  cooking  dish it will have a great taste and  a dish that everyone will love. Just do not tell anyone “how” you made it because they will think that you went to a lot of trouble to make it.

Let me know how it turned out.  

**************************************************************************************************************


Recipe....

1/2 Pkg. of any type Pasta.
1 to 2 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1 to 2 Tsp. - Tomato paste
1/2 Cup - Sour cream plus 1/3 Tsp. salt
1 to 2 Tbsp. - Ketchup
1 Sm. - Onion
3/4 Tsp. Parsley
1/3 Cup - Milk

Salt and pepper to taste.
Add more milk as necessary.


For more information, please see video below;



**************************************************************************************************************

Add about 1/3 Tsp. of salt to the sour cream in order not to just give the dish taste, but to help the cream to not curl when the ketchup is added. Also, buttermilk of 100% whole milk goes well with this pasta dish. 

If you find that the sauce is too thick after it is done or if it cooled off waiting for the pasta, then you can add more milk or the water from the pasta pot.  

I like to mix everything in a bowl but it will turn out just as awesome a dish if you just added it to the top.  

Try it with other types of pasta, my favourite is spaghetti but I did too many videos with it and I decided to use more of a variety.

Pizza Procottio With Arugula

Pizza  Procottio With  Arugula

Ahh the pizza, I know that I have not done a recipe for it, I just kept making them and have my friends and Family gobble them up.  So  I figured  that all the cooking channels  were making them  and  no one would  take interest  in another pizza video.

 Now I have to say that this is my signature pizza and everyone’s  favorite here  around me.  I just love to make this one with a stone-ground flour because it gives a really nice texture and taste.  Also by lowering the amount of yeast I get it to the firmness  I want.

I did not use any tomato sauce because I wanted  it to  have a more of a crisp clean taste of the arugula with  the full flavor of the prosciutto coming through with a hit of saltiness. Now if you want to use a tomato sauce then you can  boil  say about two tomatoes and then smash them and then strain them  into a bowl. Add salt, dash of sugar, pepper  and a drop of virgin olive oil and there you go, tomato sauce…

I know this will be your best pizza that your family and friends will enjoy.

  

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

2 Cups - 50/50 whole grain stone-ground flour.

1 Tsp. - Active yeast
3 to 3 Tbsp. - Olive oil (parts)
1/4 Cup - Beer
1 Tsp. - Sugar
1/2 Tsp. - Salt

Water as needed.

Topping;
-  Procottio
-  Arugula
-  Parmesan cheese

Options;
- Tomato sauce
- Sweet Peppers
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Onions

Alternative;
- Wholewheat or white flour.
- 2 1/2  Tsp. - Active yeast for more rise.



*************************************************************************************************************

I added  only 1 Tsp. of Yeast to the dough because I want a more firm pizza and this way there is less then a rise. Now if you like a more airy  dough then add up to 2 1/2 tsps of yeast and let it rise all the way. 

A good grade olive oil can make the different's between a  awesome taste or just a regular "it's ok" taste. Sprinkle it on the spread out dough but try not to over do it and have the whole thing covered.   

The saltiness of the  Procottio goes just great with the subtle  taste of olive oil. Add different  herbs to the pizza and see how you can enjoy it more.

Make sure that you let the pizza cool off for about  5 mins just enough in order not to dry out the procottio and  not to cook or over heat the arugula.

Make sure that after it cools down that you get it to the table right after you add your toppings, because of those hungry Friends and Family. They will not be able to wait with the aroma of this pizza..

lol !!  Well this was the only thing left of the two pizzas after my Girlfriend and I got a hold of them.. Trust me, Make more for you will need it.
