Remove skin from turkey legs: starting at the top (big) end, pull down and cut at base of leg bone.
  • In a heavy skillet, heat oil or butter. Salt and pepper legs and brown over medium heat in
    hot fat.
  • Remove browned meat to slow cooker; add vegetables and rosemary to skillet and cook,
    stirring occasionally, for several minutes. Add wine and stir to get up any browned bits in the
    pan. Pour over meat, cover and cook : on High-about 3 hours; on Low- 6 to 8 hours.
  • Good served
    with mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, etc.
  • TIP: Since the slow cooker isn't
    nearly filled by this quantity, consider doubling the recipe and freezing the extra for a second
    meal.
