EASY ROASTED TURKEY LEGS



Easy Roasted Turkey Legs image

Never fight over the last drumstick again! Additional legs are an absolute Thanksgiving necessity, and also used in place of a whole turkey.

Provided by Chef Pisces

Categories     Poultry

Time 30m

Yield 1 1, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 turkey legs
1 1/2 cups butter
5 tablespoons black pepper
7 tablespoons onion powder
5 tablespoons salt
3 (16 ounce) cartons turkey broth or 3 (16 ounce) cartons stock

Steps:

  • In a large bowl pour in all of the Turkey Broth/Stock (Could also be Chicken Stock) and marinate the uncooked Turkey Legs overnight, or at least 3 hours, in the refrigerator.
  • After 3-8 hours in the refrigerator, take a large roasting pan with a wire rack, remove the refrigerated legs from the bowl of broth---use tongs and place directly on the roasting rack/pan. Sprinkle generous amount of salt, black pepper, and onion powder on each leg. Spread foil across the top of the roasting pan to keep the legs covered while roasting in a pre-heated 350F oven.
  • Meanwhile, melt a stick of butter in a saucepan---until it's liquified.
  • 8 legs usually take about 1hour and 45 minutes to fully cook. The legs need to be turned/flipped with tongs, basted (brushed with the melted butter) and then re-seasoned with just the onion powder and black pepper--- every 20 minutes during roasting.
  • Turkey legs are usually done after insterting a meat thermometer that registers 175F in the thickest part of the leg, however, they do keep cooking even after they're removed from the oven.
  • The cooked turkey pan juices and drippings are usually used to flavor gravy and stuffing.

OVEN ROASTED TURKEY LEGS



Oven Roasted Turkey Legs image

Delicious turkey legs with sage, thyme and pomegranate molasses bring a hint of Thanksgiving to your dinner table.

Provided by Scott Simmons

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Legs

Time 4h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup salt
½ cup white sugar
4 turkey drumsticks
2 cups white wine
½ cup pomegranate molasses
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons dried sage leaves, divided
4 tablespoons dried thyme leaves, divided

Steps:

  • Place the salt and sugar into a large resealable bag. Pour in enough water to cover the turkey legs, and squeeze the bag to dissolve salt and sugar. Immerse the turkey legs in the brine, and seal the bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to brine.
  • In a saucepan, stir together the white wine, pomegranate molasses, brown sugar, regular molasses, vinegar, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half. Season with 1 tablespoon of sage and 1 tablespoon of thyme. Taste and adjust sugar, salt and pepper if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove the turkey legs from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cast iron will work well. Fry the turkey, turning frequently, until browned on all sides. Place the pan with the turkey into the oven.
  • Roast uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and turn legs over. Season with some of the remaining thyme and sage, and spoon some of the sauce onto the legs to coat. Return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Repeat the seasoning and baste with the sauce again, and return to the oven. Roast for 15 more minutes, then test for doneness. The internal temperature should be 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Serve turkey with remaining sauce on the side.
