Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey legs (only a couple at a time-- don't crowd them in the pan) and brown lightly on all sides. Transfer turkey legs to a large casserole dish or baking pan (4-6 quart capacity). Add onions and garlic to the hot oil already in the skillet. Cook until softened.
Overview. Degenerative muscle diseases cause progressive damage and loss of muscle cells with associated weakness. There are many types of degenerative muscle diseases, and they act in different ways to cause loss of functional muscle mass.egenerative muscle diseases that affect the muscles of the mouth and throat typically cause speech, chewing and swallowing difficulties. The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America notes that these symptoms are common with myasthenia gravis.
ALS is a progressive, degenerative disease of the nervous system. It is one of a group of diseases, called motor neuron diseases (MND), in which specialized nerve cells that control movement of the voluntary muscles gradually cease functioning and die. Fasciculation is a sign of muscle irritability, as the normal action of the lower motor neuron on the muscle is impaired. 2  The sole involvement of lower motor neurons can be seen in a form of ALS called progressive muscular atrophy.
