Chipotle Turkey Legs
3 turkey drumsticks, about 2 pounds total
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried, powdered sage
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 or 2 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce, plus a couple teaspoons of the sauce they come in
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Guar or xanthan
6 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Place the turkey in the slow cooker.
In a blender, combine the cumin, chili powder, sage, garlic, red pepper flakes, turmeric, chiles, tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Run it for a minute, then pour the mixture over the turkey. Cover the slow cooker, set it to low, and let it cook for 5 minutes to 6 hours.
When the time's up, remove each turkey leg to a serving plate, thicken the sauce with guar or xanthan, and spoon the sauce over the turkey legs. If you like, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over each leg and let it melt for a minute or two before serving.
