Turkey Rillettes

Here is the most requested recipe from the last Women Tasting Wine seminar.

Traditionally, rillettes are made from a confit that has been pounded in a mortar to a smooth paste.  Confit is one of the oldest methods of preserving meats, fish and poultry.  First the meat is cured with salt and then slow cooked in fat or oil.  Finally it is packed in a crock and sealed from the air with a layer of fat.  If you are uncomfortable using this quantity of duck fat, olive oil may be substituted though the results won’t be exactly the same.
