Roasted Turkey Legs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit (175º Celsius)

Step 2

In a bowl stir together the softened ghee or butter with the herbs, garlic, salt and pepper

Step 3

Pat the turkey legs dry with a paper towel and place them in a baking dish large enough to allow them to lie flat.

Step 4

Use your hands to separate the skin from the meat of the legs. Rub the herb butter/ghee in between the skin and meat of each leg on both sides, as well as all over the top of the skin.

Step 5

Pour the chicken stock into the bottom of the baking dish. Transfer the baking dish to the oven and cook the turkey for an hour and 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the leg reads 170º. I like to baste the turkey legs with the liquid from the bottom of the pan every 30-40 minutes as it cooks.
