Instructions
Make numerous vertical slits in the turkey legs.
In a small bowl combine olive oil
salt
pepper
teriyaki sauce
vinegar
and oregano. Add turkey legs and toss to coat. Let marinate while you prepare vegetables and bacon.
Cut onion
green pepper
and bacon into small squares (approximately the same size as the slits in the legs).
Fill each slit with one piece of pepper
onion
and bacon.
After the legs are stuffed
brown them in the oil mixture on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce the temperature to low and cover. Cook for 40 to 45 minutes or until the meat starts to separate from the bone. If the legs dry out when cooking
add a little water to the skillet and lower the temperature.
