Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse the turkey legs and pat dry.
- Stand the turkey legs upright (as if the turkey were standing). Press a knife downward into the deep tissue, creating 2 or 3 long pockets. Press a piece of celery into each opening. Pull back the skin on the legs, rub with butter, and season with a little salt. Put the skin back into place, rub with more butter, and season lightly with salt. Lay the legs in a roasting pan.
- Roast uncovered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the legs are golden brown and the internal temperature is 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Add more water if needed while roasting, and baste occasionally with the juices or butter.

GRILLED CHIPOTLE TURKEY LEGS
Before grilling, marinate the turkey in a vibrant rub made with citrus, honey, oregano and coriander. This dish pulls inspiration from Yucatan turkey, a protein popular in Mexico's Yucatan region, except our version swaps out the traditional annatto paste for chipotle in adobo.

Steps:
- Whisk the zest and juice of 1 orange, the juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons dried oregano, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 chopped chipotle in adobo sauce plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional). Season 2 turkey legs with salt; rub with the marinade, then refrigerate at least 2 hours. Preheat a grill to medium-high on one side and place a drip pan under the cooler side. Place the turkey, skin-side up, on the cooler side of the grill; cover and grill until the meat is cooked halfway, 50 minutes. Turn and cook until the thigh reaches 170, 50 more minutes, moving the meat to direct heat during the last 10 minutes to brown the skin. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:
- For the turkey: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
- Mix together the milk, eggs and hot sauce in a shallow dish, such as a pie pan. Set aside.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a separate shallow dish.
- Pat the turkey legs dry and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Place 1 turkey leg in the flour mixture and turn to coat. Transfer the turkey to the egg mixture and turn to coat. Return the turkey to the flour mixture and turn to coat. Shake off any excess coating and place the coated turkey on a clean plate. Continue the coating process with the remaining turkey legs.
- Heat about 3/4 inch oil in an extra-large skillet over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 325 degrees F (do not allow the oil to go above 325 degrees F). Fry the turkey legs in batches until golden brown on each side and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat (not touching bone) registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per side. Transfer the finished turkey legs to the rack on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you fry the rest.
- For the gravy: After all the turkey is fried, pour the oil into a heatproof bowl and reserve; do not clean the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved oil to the skillet and, once hot, sprinkle the flour over the top. Whisk until combined and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the flour mixture turns a deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in 3 cups milk, whisking constantly, and add the garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the gravy is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Add more milk if the gravy becomes too thick. Season with salt, pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce, if using.
- Spoon the gravy on a large serving platter and place the warm turkey legs on top. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve with additional gravy alongside.

Steps:
- In a large bowl pour in all of the Turkey Broth/Stock (Could also be Chicken Stock) and marinate the uncooked Turkey Legs overnight, or at least 3 hours, in the refrigerator.
- After 3-8 hours in the refrigerator, take a large roasting pan with a wire rack, remove the refrigerated legs from the bowl of broth---use tongs and place directly on the roasting rack/pan. Sprinkle generous amount of salt, black pepper, and onion powder on each leg. Spread foil across the top of the roasting pan to keep the legs covered while roasting in a pre-heated 350F oven.
- Meanwhile, melt a stick of butter in a saucepan---until it's liquified.
- 8 legs usually take about 1hour and 45 minutes to fully cook. The legs need to be turned/flipped with tongs, basted (brushed with the melted butter) and then re-seasoned with just the onion powder and black pepper--- every 20 minutes during roasting.
- Turkey legs are usually done after insterting a meat thermometer that registers 175F in the thickest part of the leg, however, they do keep cooking even after they're removed from the oven.
- The cooked turkey pan juices and drippings are usually used to flavor gravy and stuffing.
CURRIED TURKEY LEGS
Adopted! I was born and raised in a small village where most of the residesnt depended on their farm animals for their livelyhood. Our meat was mainly pork and chicken with an occasional pound of hamburger boutht at the butcher shop. Young calves were seldom eaten. The were shipped to market for cash. In those days, a young calf would bring about $75 which would buy a lot of school shoes. When I left home and started to work, I ate mainly in restaurants. I soon loved to enjoy the taste of lamb. In later years I was dining in a restaurant in North Africa, when a diner near me who had just ordered leg of lamb queried the waiter, "Did you know that if you fixed a turkey leg in this manner that it would taste just leg of lamb?" "Yes," the waiter replied, "That's what that is." When I was able to find two turkey legs in the bazaar, I bought them and took them back to my apartment and cooked them basically like this recipe. He was right they did taste just like curried log of lamb and at about a quarter of the price. I have been eating them ever since. I am happy to post this recipe because I know every who likes lamb will enjoy it immensely.

- Up to two days before making turkey legs, remove from packaging and arrange on a baking rack or cooling rack. Sprinkle liberally with salt and rest in the fridge until skin is dry. When ready to cook, remove from fridge half an hour before cooking and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Mix the salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano in a bowl. Rub on turkey legs, pressing under skin if possible. Use a pastry brush to then coat the legs in the softened butter. Return to rack and place in a roasting pan. Cover with foil. Meanwhile, mix melted butter and wine together to baste turkey with.
- After 20 minutes, uncover the legs, and brush them with butter and wine mixture. Return to oven for 20 more minutes and baste again. After an hour, check to see if the meat has reached 165°F. If not, return to oven for 5-10 more minutes. For crispier skin, slide under the broiler, on low, for about two minutes. Remove rack from roasting pan and let drumsticks rest for 10 minutes.
- Put the roasting pan on the stove or transfer drippings to a saucepan. Stir in wine, cornstarch and rosemary, constantly swirling to thicken. Once the gravy starts to bubble, remove from the heat, strain into a heatproof dish and serve immediately with the drumsticks.
