Oven Roasted Turkey Legs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2

Brush legs with melted butter. Then rub them salt, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Place on a baking dish. I like to put a layer of aluminum foil on the baking dish for easy clean up, but that’s totally up to you.

Step 4

Now, pop them in the oven uncovered for 15 minutes. The skin should brown.

Step 5

Remove from heat and using tongs, flip them over so that the bottom side is now on top. Place back in oven for another 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from heat and loosely cover with aluminum foil (try not to burn yourself!).

Step 7

Roast in oven for another 30 minutes, or until juices run clear and instant-read thermometer reads 165°F.

Step 8

Remove from oven for the last time, and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
