Please help us make our voices heard by our politicians and help us in our fight to get Bill C-51 amended to get Natural Health products in a separate category from other therapeutic products such as drugs, medical devices, tissues and organs. Natural health products are considered by many to be "low risk" when compared with certain drugs thus should be in a separate category allowing for uninterrupted access to them. For more information contact CHFA (Canadian Health Food Association) www.chfa.ca

 

Also make your MP aware that you would like all food and food products containing Genetically Modified Foods (GMO) labeled as containing GMO's so we have the choice to buy them or not. See Bill 517.

  Recipes 

 

Braised Herbed Turkey Legs - 

taken from "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann. 

 

Cooked in a medium or large oval slower cooker on high for 2 to 3 hours. 

 

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2  tablespoons unsalted butter

4 turkey legs

1 cup chopped onions

1/2 cup sliced carrots

1/2 cup sliced celery

2 cloves chopped garlic

1/2 cup dry white wine 

3 to 4 tablespoons mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, marjoram, thyme, oregano, parsley, and a bit of  rosemary. Add more if desired for  garnish. 

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons heavy cream or 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Rice, couscous, or mashed potatoes for serving.

 

1. In a large, heavy skillet, het the oil and butter together over medium-high heat. Brown the turkey legs all over, 4 to 6 minutes total. As they brown, transfer the turkey legs to the slow cooker. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits stuck to the pan. When the wine has reduced a bit, 2 to 3 minutes more, stir in the herbs and cook for  30 seconds. 

 

2. Scrape the mixture into the cooker, distributing it as well as possible over and around the turkey legs. Season with the salt and pepper. Cover and cook on HIGH until the turkey is tender, 2 to 3 hours. 

 

3. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Transfer the turkey to a baking dish, tent with aluminum fold, and keep warm in the oven while you finish the sauce. 

 

4. Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and  continue boiling for 4 to 5 minutes to reduce the sauce and concentrate the flavours. If desired, stir in  the cream or  butter until the cream is hot or the butter just melts. 

 

5. Serve the turkey, on or off the  bone, with the  vegetable and herb sauce, over rice, fluffy coucous, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
