How to Make Soy Simmered Turkey Legs

1. Finely chop 1 medium onion, 1 bell pepper (any color), and 4 cloves garlic. Mince 1-2 fresh red chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
2. In a slow cooker, combine the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili, and ½ cup raisins.
3. Rinse two 1-pound turkey legs thoroughly and pat them completely dry. Arrange the turkey legs on top of the onion mixture.
4. Pour in ½ cup dry sherry and 1 cup soy sauce.
5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the turkey meat easily pulls away from the bones.
6. Carefully lift the turkey legs to a warm serving dish and keep warm.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with ¼ cup cold water until smooth.
8. Add the cornstarch slurry to the slow cooker.
9. Increase the slow cooker to high and cook for 10 minutes, stirring gently 2-3 times, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
10. Pour the thickened sauce over the turkey legs and serve immediately over cooked rice or Asian noodles. Garnish with steamed broccoli florets for added nutrition and visual appeal.
