Roasted Turkey Legs

Roasted Turkey Legs

Turkey legs are all the rage at the state fairs. The booths where they are cooked smell amazing. Then someone walks by with one and you really think you need one until you see the $10.00 price tag for 1 turkey leg. That sign changes my mind every time. They are so easy to make at home, I did these 3 for under $4.00 and they’re amazing!

I didn’t do anything to them but roast them with a little salt and pepper. They were done in about 45 minutes. I almost brined these because I love the tenderness you can get when you brine but everything I read said the legs do not benefit from being brined because they are all muscle. You can add more spices if you want but sometimes simple is best.
