- 4 garlic cloves, crushed

directions
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and bell peppers and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir until well mixed. Add cayenne, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, and white pepper; saute for 1 minute. Add the turkey legs and stir at least 30 seconds so that legs are completely coated in the spices. Cover with chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 4 hours or until meat is tender and separates easily from the bone. Shred the turkey drumsticks and toss the meat with the dipping sauce. Stuff the pitas with the turkey mixture. Serve immediately.
- Dipping Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so that flavors meld. Bring to room temperature before tossing the turkey in the sauce.

I love to cook which is why I'm a recipezaar junkie! It is so great to have all the recipes I want at my fingertips.
Well, it is all about me....I've been married to my amazing husband for three years. When I'm not experimenting with recipes at home, we love to dine at all the great restaurants here in Hawaii. We travel a lot between Maui and Oahu being we live and work on Oahu and most of our loved ones are on Maui. Whenever possible we try to get to the beach for our sunset barbeques. The picture posted was taken in front of his grandmother's beach house in Hau'ula. How lucky are we?
Update 02/06/08: My husband & I have relocated to Alabama. My military man is stationed at Ft. Rucker & attending flight school. Though we are soo far from our family & home I'm loving it here. I do miss the fresh island fish and the local farmer's market. It's been a challenge finding the ingrediants I'm used to using. I drive my DH crazy going store to store to find what I need. When it's all said & done and there is a delicious meal in front of him, he says it's all worth it! We have definately embraced the food of the south. It's a culinary adventure & I'm enjoying the ride.
