TURKEY LEG SEASONING RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. To use on whole turkey, rub under skin, over skin and in body and neck cavities before roasting.

Steps:

• Rinse turkey legs and pat dry. Slip the skin of the turkey back over the leg. This is done by slipping your fingers between the skin and meat of the leg.
• Smear butter onto meat on both sides of the leg.
• Sprinkle meat with poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Secure skin back over the leg.
• Cover legs on both side with lemon or orange zest.
• Place foil in the bottom of a long rectangular pan. If you wish, dice carrots and celery and add to pan.
• Add chicken broth to pan.
• Place turkey legs in pan.
• Roast legs at 350 degrees for one hour and twenty minutes.
• CAUTION: Do not over bake and since ovens are different, start checking on the turkey leg temperature after one hour. Turkey temperature should be 175 degrees when you take it from the oven.
• When ready, take turkey legs from oven and let rest 15 minutes to redistribute the juices.
• Taste your broth. If it's to your liking, spoon on turkey legs. If not, add salt, pepper, and a little butter and warm. Then spoon over turkey legs.
