1loafsour doughseveral days old, cut into 1" cubes
1/3cupbutter
Cranberry Sage Oil
200mlcranberry sauce
200mlolive oil
1/2cupsagefresh, leaves only
The Soup
1lchicken stock
splashlemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450F
The Vegetables
Chop everything in similar sized pieces, I did around 1/2 inch
Add everything to a large mixing bowl and coat liberally with olive oil
Mix together all spices in a separate bowl then toss vegetables in the spice mix
Add vegetables to a deep 13" baking dish and set aside
The Turkey
Season the turkey on all sides with salt and pepper, place a wire rack on the vegetable baking dish and arrange the turkey legs evenly spaced in the center of the rack (see image above) This is important because we want the turkey to drip all its juices down onto the veg as it all roasts
Roast everything for 20 mins uncovered
Remove dish from oven, tent with foil and return to oven for another 20-30 minutes or until turkey legs are 165F at center
remove from oven and set aside.
The Oil
Blend all ingredients together until fully emulsified, adjust consistency as needed with more oil
The Croutons
In batches toast croutons in butter on medium until toasted to desired darkness. One thing to note about these is they harder they are the better, because you want them to still have crunch and chew after sitting in the soup for awhile
The Soup
Add the stock to a large soup pot
Once the turkey and veg are roasted strip all meat from the bones, then add the bones and the veg to the bot and bring to simmer, then simmer covered for 20 minutes
While the soup simmers, roughly chop the turkey into 1/2" pieces, removing any grizzle and other less desirable pieces. Hard to chew pieces will really stand out in the final dish
After simmering is done, remove the bones from the pot and discard, then use an emulsion blender to fully emulsify
Serving
Ladle soup into wide bowls, pile chopped turkey and croutons in the center and drizzle cranberry oil around the outside (around the outside)
