1
In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the canola oil until smoking.
2
Season the turkey legs with salt and pepper and sear in the hot pan until golden brown all over, turning constantly, about 5 minutes.
3
Remove from pan to a plate and set aside until needed.

In the same pan add the garlic, onions, carrots, and celery and cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
5
Stir in the tomato paste and flour and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
6
Add the wine and the beef broth.
7
Return the turkey legs to the pan and continue to cook until tender, about 1 hour.

Add the butter to a saute pan over medium heat.

Add the onions and saute until they become translucent.

Using a sharp knife remove the corn kernels from the cob.
13
Add the kernels to the sauteed onions and continue to cook until the corn becomes tender, about 10 minutes.
14
Stir in the heavy cream and reduce the cream, until the mixture forms a thick sauce around the corn.
15
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside until needed.

Once the turkey legs are cooked and the meat is really tender, remove them from the liquid to a platter.
