#304 'braised' turkey legs

2 turkey legs (~1.5 lbs)
2 large cloves garlic (peeled, kept whole)
1/2 of an onion (diced large)
olive oil
1 bay leaf

Heat oven to 250, meanwhile heat oil in dutch oven, salt/pepper turkey legs and when oil is hot add legs, garlic, bay leaf and onion. Brown for 3-4 mins, turn legs over and brown 3-4 mins longer, stirring garlic and onion around. Then cover tightly (foil and then place cover on dutch oven) and cook in the oven until temp is 180F (~45 mins). Remove, let legs sit while you strain the juices from the pot, pressing onion and garlic through strainer to make the gravy.
