Not for the first time, we find ourselves wishing we could just reach through this screen and hand you a bite of food: Once you taste these crispy-skinned sous vide turkey legs, you’ll never cook your holiday bird any other way.The gentle application of heat for 24 hours in a sous vide bath transforms the tough turkey legs, making them velvety-tender, intensely succulent, and super-juicy, as the tough collagen they contain is converted to gelatin. Once crisped in a hot pan, they’re unforgettable enough that they could be the superstar of your Thanksgiving table, but they’re also simple enough to prepare that you could batch-cook a bunch and serve them any day of the week.
