 Wrap the bacon around the turkey drums and secure with wooden toothpicks.


 Heat the oil in the uncovered cooker and fry until brown. Remove turkey and


 set aside. Brown the vegetbles. Drain off excess fat and stir in stock,


 seasoning, bouquet garni and tomato paste. Put the turkey legs on the


 vegetables. Cover with lid and bring to High (15 lb. pressure). Cook for 20


 mins. Reduce pressure quickly. Discard bouquet garni and toothpicks. Put


 turkey and vegetables in a serving dish. Mix cornstarch to a smooth paste

 Serving Ideas : Serve with rice or potatoes or hot biscuits split.


 


 NOTES : Delicious Flavor. I extended the time required from 15 to 20


 minutes as it was still a little chewy. For small pressure cooker, break


 off ends of legs to fit. Either discard or cook with rest of turkey for


 extra flavor.
