Ingredients: 2 turkey legs (about 1.5 lbs total); Sea salt and cracked black pepper; 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 6 cloves garlic, lightly crushed; 4 sprigs fresh thyme; 1 bay leaf; ¾ cup dry white wine; ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth; 1 cup mixed pitted olives (Kalamata, Castelvetrano, Nocellara); 2 tbsp capers, rinsed; 2 tbsp red wine vinegar; 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for tapenade); 2 lemons, halved; 1 tsp Aleppo pepper; Fresh thyme and oregano for garnish

A turkey leg braised in olive oil with thyme, garlic, and white wine for two hours until the meat is so tender it falls from the bone. Finished with charred lemon halves and a warm tapenade of pitted olives, capers, and red wine vinegar. A rustic yet refined showstopper that serves as the evening's centerpiece.
