A simple turkey for thanks giving

Thanks giving.
Good food and fun with friends and family.
And of course not to forget Turkey

I like all that fun with loved ones except the turkey part.
Its fun cooking that whole turkey in your oven. But the mess starts on the dinner table when carving it.
Thats why I cook it simple. Just the turkey legs.
Gives individual portions and no mess carving it.

Pancetta Wrap

Some recipes just comes of no where. 
The other day when slicing pancetta, a recipe popped out of my head.
Why not use pancetta like a wrap?


For those who don't know what Italian pancetta is ;
Italian pancetta is a type of dry cured meat, similar to bacon. It is pork belly that has been salt cured and spiced (nutmeg, pepper, fennel, dried ground hot peppers and garlic are often featured), and dried for about three months.


I wrapped some cubes of fillet and baked it. The product missed something. It was dry.
So my next task was to add that something to make it moist or creamy which can play around your mouth when you chew the meat.
To the filling i added some sauted mushrooms and to make it further moist, served it with demi-glaze. 
Had to be careful with the seasoning because all preserve meats are most  of the time salty.
