OVEN ROASTED TURKEY LEGS

Steps:

• Place the salt and sugar into a large resealable bag. Pour in enough water to cover the turkey legs, and squeeze the bag to dissolve salt and sugar. Immerse the turkey legs in the brine, and seal the bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to brine.
• In a saucepan, stir together the white wine, pomegranate molasses, brown sugar, regular molasses, vinegar, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half. Season with 1 tablespoon of sage and 1 tablespoon of thyme. Taste and adjust sugar, salt and pepper if desired.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove the turkey legs from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cast iron will work well. Fry the turkey, turning frequently, until browned on all sides. Place the pan with the turkey into the oven.
• Roast uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and turn legs over. Season with some of the remaining thyme and sage, and spoon some of the sauce onto the legs to coat. Return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
• Repeat the seasoning and baste with the sauce again, and return to the oven. Roast for 15 more minutes, then test for doneness. The internal temperature should be 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Serve turkey with remaining sauce on the side.

CLASSIC MEAT LOVER'S CALZONES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, flour, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until well-combined and the dough comes together into a ball.
• Lightly flour a clean surface, then turn the dough out and knead for 1-2 minutes to smooth and encourage gluten development. Shape the dough into a ball.
• Drizzle the olive oil in a clean large bowl. Add the dough ball and turn to coat in the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• While the dough is rising, make the filling: Add the sausage to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat and cook until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Add the onion, salt, and pepper and continue to cook until the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 portions, then roll each into and round about ¼-inch (½ cm) thick.
• Spread ¼ of the sauce over one half of each dough round, leaving a ½-inch (1 cm) border along the edge. Top each one with 2 slices of ham, 5 pepperoni, ¼ of the sausage and onion mixture, and ¼ cup (25 G) of mozzarella cheese.
• Lightly beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Brush the egg wash on the border of the dough, fold the other half over, and press the edges together. Starting from one corner, fold the dough over itself in a twist. Tuck the other corner underneath. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg wash and score the tops with a knife to allow steam to escape.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Serve the calzones with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove and finely chop the mushroom stems. Cut the mushroom caps into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushroom stems and caps, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released some of their liquid and start to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the broccoli and an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pinch of black pepper. Cook until the broccoli is bright green and starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cool to room temperature.
• When the mixture has cooled, add the mozzarella, turkey, ricotta and pesto. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Divide the dough into two equal portions and form each into a ball. Working with one ball at a time, roll and stretch the dough into a 13-inch round; dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Transfer the round to a prepared baking sheet. Spoon half of the filling onto one half of the dough round, leaving a 1-inch border. Use the parchment paper to help fold the other half up and over to enclose the filling, gently pressing out as much air as possible. Seal the edges by stretching the bottom edge of dough up and over the top edge and crimping the edges with your thumb to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough, filling and second prepared baking sheet.
• Cut 2 small slits on the top of each calzone with a sharp knife so steam can escape. Brush each calzone with a little bit of olive oil. Bake until the crust is golden brown and you can see the filling bubbling through the vent slits, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cut the calzones into pieces and serve immediately.

REHEAT-AND-EAT BREAKFAST CALZONES

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook until seared on the first side, about 2 minutes; the chorizo will release its own fat to cook in, but if your skillet is dry, add a splash of oil. Use a wooden spoon to break up the chorizo into smaller pieces and continue to cook until browned all over and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes, bell peppers, onions and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are almost cooked through and the peppers and onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to deglaze the skillet and continue to cook until the water evaporates and the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and reserved chorizo. Season the hash with more salt to taste. Reserve half of the mixture for breakfast with fried or scrambled eggs and use the remaining mixture to make the calzones. The extra hash can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheated in a skillet over medium heat.
• Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the oil to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. When the skillet is hot, pour in the eggs; you should hear a loud sizzle as the eggs hit the hot oil. Cook the eggs for 1 minute, then use a rubber spatula to push the cooked eggs towards the center. You want to cook the eggs more like an omelet rather than breaking them into pieces like scrambled eggs. Continue to gently push the cooked eggs towards the center and allow the liquid eggs to flow underneath to cook through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a plate and let cool. Once cool, divide into 8 pieces.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough into eight 2-ounce pieces. Roll each with a rolling pin into a round measuring about 5 inches. To the center of each round, add 2 tablespoons of the chorizo hash, 1 piece of the egg and 1 tablespoon of the Cheddar. Lift the top of each dough round up and over the filling to create a half-moon shape. It's OK if the top of the dough doesn't meet the bottom edge completely; simply press them together where they meet and then roll the bottom dough over the top to create a seal. Continue to roll the edges together until they are tightly sealed so it looks almost like a rope around the outer edge of each calzone.
• Transfer the calzones to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer until frozen, about 2 hours. Store the frozen calzones in a resealable freezer bag for up to 2 to 3 months.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a second baking sheet with parchment.
• Remove the calzones from the freezer, place directly on the lined baking sheet and lightly brush with oil. Bake from frozen until the dough is cooked through and golden brown (the Yogurt Flatbread Dough will brown all over whereas pizza dough will brown more in spots, like a pizza crust), 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
