Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large turkey legs (drumsticks)
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons rotisserie chicken seasoning
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Remove the turkey legs from the fridge and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush a cast iron skillet or 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil.
  • Place the drumsticks in the skillet and brush turkey legs with olive oil on both sides. Next, sprinkle each turkey leg all over with the rotisserie chicken seasoning. Then add black pepper to taste.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes. After 50 minutes, take them out and start checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the leg. If it registers 165°F in the thickest part and the juices run clear, the meat is ready. Otherwise, place them back into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the tender turkey legs rest in the baking dish for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use different spice mixes and add some more fresh herbs.
  • The cooking time may be longer or shorter depending on the size of your turkey legs, type of baking dish, and type of oven.
  • Store leftover turkey legs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • You can freeze cooked turkey meat for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag.
