Free Range Turkey Legs

Two turkey legs typically serve 2 to 4 people, depending on portion sizes and the appetite of your guests. If served with sides, it’s perfect for 3 to 4 people, but for heartier portions, it may be ideal for 2 people.

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or Gas Mark 4.
2. Prepare the turkey legs by patting them dry with kitchen paper. Rub the legs with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown and stay moist.
3. Season the turkey legs generously with salt, pepper, and your preferred herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or sage). You can also add garlic or paprika for extra flavour.
4. Place the turkey legs in a roasting dish. Add a splash of water or stock to the bottom of the dish to prevent them from drying out during roasting.
5. Roast in the oven for about 90 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking. Turkey legs should reach an internal temperature of 75°C when fully cooked.
6. Check doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the leg, avoiding the bone. Once it reaches 75°C, the turkey is done.
7. Rest the turkey legs for 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy, tender result.

Cooking Note: Turkey legs take longer to cook than breast meat, so always check internal temperature to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
