TURKEY POT-AU-FEU ( STEW )
For the marinade, bring the water and coarse salt to a boil, leave to cool, then place the turkey thighs into the liquid, add the bay leaf and leave to marinate for 6 hours. Peel the vegetables, put the carrots, the onions, the celery root and the bouquet garni in a stewing pot. Drain the turkey thighs and place them in the pot. Cover with water, bring to a boil, skim the surface and season with pepper. Cover and cook for approximately 45 minutes. About 20 minutes before the stew is done, add the cabbage leaves, the leeks, tied into bunches and the potatoes. 
Prepare the horseradish butter by blending, in a mixer, the softened butter, the grated horseradish, the juice of 1 1/2 or 2 lemons, according to taste, and season with pepper.
Put the turkey thighs with the vegetables on a serving dish and serve the horseradish butter on the side.
