Mouthwatering Turkey

1 . Stage

To a large pot over medium heat, add all ingredients for the boiled turkey and cover with water. Bring water to a boil and reduce heat to lower to a simmer. Let cook, covered, until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°.

2 . Stage

Remove turkey leg from the pot and transfer to a large bowl of ice water. Let turkey cool completely, then drain and carve meat off the bone, reserving the bone. Slice into bite-sized pieces against the grain and set aside until ready to serve.

3 . Stage

Optional: Return the turkey bone to the pot and let simmer with cooking liquid until a flavorful broth develops, about 1 hour. Let cool, transfer to a heat-proof container, and reserve for another use in the refrigerator.

4 . Stage

Make the chili browned butter: Combine peppers, peppercorns, garlic, ginger, and salt in a 2-cup heat-proof jar. In a small pot over low heat, cook butter, swirling pot occasionally, until nutty and browned. Remove from heat and gradually pour over spices into the jar, going slowly to avoid overflow.

5 . Stage

To serve: Place sliced turkey on a plate, then pour over chili browned butter.
