Turkey Thighs, Lard, and Sugar

[Trapper John]

Misleading subject line, I know. Since I got my turkey this year, I grabbed the thighs off the turkey I shot last year and threw them in the crockpot last night with water, a chopped onion, four smashed garlic cloves, some whole peppercorns, and a few bay leaves. This morning they were falling apart. I shredded the meat, ran the broth through some cheesecloth, and set it all in the fridge. Later on I mixed up a batch of dumplings. Flour, lard, baking powder, salt, and milk. Those got dropped in to the simmering broth and once it thickened up I added the turkey thigh meat back in to heat through. Unspeakably good.

As for the sugar, I've been craving a rhubarb pie. Seemed like it'd go good with the main course. And it did.

That's legit! All you need is a big bowl of greens and I would be kicking in your door.
