Instructions
Follow these steps to create your delicious Roasted Turkey Leg:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Turkey Legs: Rub the marinade all over the turkey legs, ensuring they are well coated. Place them in a resealable bag or dish and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Arrange the Turkey Legs: Place the marinated turkey legs in a roasting pan. Pour chicken broth and lemon juice around them.
5. Roast: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
6. Uncover and Continue Roasting: Remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Baste the Legs: Optionally, baste the turkey legs with the pan juices every 15 minutes during the last half of roasting for extra flavor.
8. Rest: Once done, remove the turkey legs from the oven and let them rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Place the turkey legs on a serving platter and drizzle with the pan juices.
These simple steps will help you create an incredible dish that will have everyone asking for seconds.
