He shows us how to make braised turkey legs with tart apples and creamy potato salad.\nDuring the holidays as a kid, we used to have a whole turkey, but people would fight over the turkey legs, so my aunt used to braise turkey legs on the side for everyone. This recipe is a twist on the Johnson family classic with a little spice and Granny Smith apples.\nPotato salad is a classic on the African American table for Thanksgiving. It brings soul and is the perfect leftover dish the next day. There's no Thanksgiving at my house without potato salad and mac and cheese.\nIf you like those great Thanksgiving recipes, you should also try these:\nNathan Congleton\/TODAY\nCultural tastemaker, family man and renowned American chef, JJ Johnson is most recognized for his innovative approach to African Caribbean cuisine. His work has earned him numerous accolades, including the James Beard Foundation Book Award and a two-time spot on the Nation’s Restaurant News Power List. He has been featured on a variety of TV shows including Food Network’s Chopped, Netflix’s Street Food and Selena + Chef on HBO Max and hosts his own show, 'Just Eats with Chef JJ’ airing for its fifth season on TV One's network Cleo TV this fall.","attrs_markdown":"[An Inside Look at How Fiesta Tableware is Made — Plus, an Exclusive Deal for Viewers](https:\/\/www.today.com\/shop\/fiesta-ware-exclusive-deals-tour-rcna265889)\n\nIE 11 is not supported.

Readable Markdown	Chef and restaurateur [JJ Johnson](https://www.chefjj.co/) is stopping by the TODAY kichen to share a couple of his favorite family [Thanksgiving recipes](https://www.today.com/food/thanksgiving) that are perfect if you're having a smaller celebration. He shows us how to make braised turkey legs with tart apples and creamy potato salad. During the holidays as a kid, we used to have a whole turkey, but people would fight over the turkey legs, so my aunt used to braise turkey legs on the side for everyone. This recipe is a twist on the Johnson family classic with a little spice and Granny Smith apples. Potato salad is a classic on the African American table for Thanksgiving. It brings soul and is the perfect leftover dish the next day. There's no Thanksgiving at my house without potato salad and mac and cheese.
