Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Avocado oil spray
  • 4 medium turkey drumsticks ((bone-in skin-on, about 10 oz each))
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Fit a rimmed roasting pan with a roasting rack and spray the rack with avocado oil spray.
  • Pat the turkey legs dry with paper towels. Brush them all over with melted butter and rub them with the seasoning mix. Place on the roasting rack and lightly spray with avocado oil.
  • Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until the skin is browned.
  • Loosely cover with foil, to avoid scorching the top, and continue roasting until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F (make sure it isn’t touching the bone), about 30 more minutes.
  • Remove the turkey legs from the oven and allow them to rest, still covered in foil, for 10 minutes before serving. Do not skip this step - it allows the internal temperature to climb a bit more, and the juices to redistribute and settle.
