It looks pretty stellar, and it was. The only issue was the turkey was a titch tough. Next time it should probably be cooked on low heat in the oven first for about an hour and a half (Say 300 F) to help out a bit. You could also try boiling the turkey legs like you would with ribs prior to placing on the grill - that would also be an option if you're wanting a quicker meal. Spice afterwards if you elect to do this.
I don't have the recipe for the soup, unfortunately, because it was a friend's (we just happened to have a meals worth in the freezer). If she posts the recipe herself, or gives me permission then I'll post it up or provide a link. Most squash soup's I've had would be an excellent acompanyment to this meal.
This was my first artichoke cooking - I used this page as a reference. I would DEFINATELY do this again. The artichoke was so good.
1.) Snip the ends of the artichoke
2.) Cut the tip of the Artichoke and cut in half. Remove the innards (purple part and fine white fibres) using a paring knife and spoon. Slice along the bottom, just above the heart and scoop out with a spoon.
3.) Steam them for 10 minutes. Brush with a little bit of olive oil and pepper prior to placing on the grill.
4.) I used this time to prepare and start cooking the Turkey (next time it will already be in the oven). Chille Powder, pepper, cayenne pepper.
5.) Grill them on a low heat until cooked all the way through. (15 minutes or so was perfect)
Desert is from here and it's pretty good. I forgot I had run out of baking soda and made with baking powder *hoping* that it would turn out. It tasted fine but wasn't as lofty. I added a cream cheese icing ontop.
Single serving - 1 tbsp cream cheese, 1/4 tsp each vanilla and honey mix smooth and light with a fork and spread on top.
Have a good one!
