Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 Turkey Thighs (boneless)
  • 50 grams Chicken Sausage
  • 3 tbsp Duck Fat
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 tbsp Flour (more or less as needed)
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper (freshly cracked)
  • 2 sprigs Thyme (optional)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instruction

  • Lay out your boneless turkey thighs and spoon a bit of chicken sausage into the middle.
  • Use the twine to tie them up into sealed balls. Salt the meat.
  • In a pan on medium high heat add a bit of duck fat and fry the ballotines about 2 minutes a side until they are browned. Move to a roasting dish.
  • Add the chicken stock to the roasting dish and braise the turducken ballotines in the oven preheated to 175 Celsius for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Do not discard the braising liquid.
  • In pan add the rest of the duck fat and some flour to absorb the fat. Cook the mix a bit so you don't taste raw flour. Ladle in some of the braising liquid and whisk the gravy until your desired consistency. Add the black pepper, thyme, and salt to taste.
  • Before serving cut off the cooking twine and serve alongside the turducken gravy. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.
