Turmeric Chicken with Golden Beets & Leeks

Makes 4 servings.

2 Red Dog leeks, white and light green parts only
1 bu. Red Dog chard
1 lb. Red Dog golden beets
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground turmeric, divided
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
4 skinless chicken drumsticks, on the bone
4 skinless chicken thighs, on the bone
1/2 cup white wine

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Slice the leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse them, fanning out the outer layers to wash away any grit. Slice the cleaned leeks into thin half-moons.

Remove the leaves from the stems of the chard. Coarsely chop the leaves and discard the stems. Halve the beets and cut each half into four wedges.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the leeks, beets, and chard together with the garlic, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, ginger, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or casserole pan and arrange in an even layer.

Add the chicken and the other teaspoon of turmeric to the mixing bowl and toss to coat in the remaining turmeric mixture. Transfer the chicken legs to the baking dish and nestle in the beet mixture.

Drizzle any of the remaining marinade over the top of the chicken and pour the wine around the sides of the dish.

Roast, uncovered, until the chicken is fork-tender and the beets are soft, about 1 hour.
