Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450.

Sprinkle the turkey legs generously with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan and into the oven.

Reduce the temperature to 350 and roast for 20-35 minutes- depending on the size of the legs- until the temperature reaches 170.

If you are without a thermometer, push on the meat and when it starts to feel firm (but not becoming hard as a rock) then slice into a thick part of the meat. You will no longer see any pink at this point and any juices will run clear.

Remove and cover for about 5 minutes.

Serve with lots of napkins as the best way to enjoy these drumsticks are with your hands.
