Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C. While it heats up, mix up the marinade for the turkey. Toss the legs in the mixture, then pop onto a baking tray and into the oven for around 30-40 minutes or until cooked through. 
  • While the turkey roasts, move onto the slaw. Finely shred the cabbage and sprouts, then add to a bowl along with mayo, lime juice, and salt. Mix well, and set aside
  • This is also a good time to make the hot maple - to a small saucepan, add maple syrup, chilli flakes, and a pinch of cayenne. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let it cool. 
  • Once the turkey is cooked through, remove from the bone and roughly shred with two forks. 
  • Time to build the tacos! Sliced avocado and slaw on the bottom, then the roasted turkey, radish, and a drizzle of hot maple to finish.
