Directions
-
Place the chopped ham and turkey into the bowl of a food processor.
-
Pulse the meat several times until it is finely chopped but still retains some texture; do not puree into a smooth paste.
-
Add the softened butter, ground pepper, and tarragon to the meat mixture.
-
Pulse briefly again just to combine the ingredients evenly.
-
Divide the mixture among 3-4 small crocks or serving dishes.
-
Refrigerate the crocks for one hour to allow the rillettes to firm up.
-
Once chilled, pour a thin layer of melted butter over the top of the mixture in each crock to seal it.
