  • Take the duck legs’ fat off and replace the bones with sticks of Foie Gras.

  • On each disk of pastry, place one duck leg stuffed with Foie Gras.

  • Glaze the border of the disk with egg yolk.

  • Fold each circle in two.

  • Cook and brown in a warm oven (220°C / 430°F) during 15 at 20 minutes.

  • Keep an eye on the cooking process.

Advise
  When the turnovers are ready, present them either whole for the gourmands or by half per person. Add the stew of vegetables and the slices of gizzards warmed on the stew. Serve warm with a curly lettuce flavoured with garlic and spicy dressed.
