Serves 4

  • 4 turkey drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons pepper
  • 4 tablespoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin

 

Prep the meat

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Pat turkey legs completely dry (this will help them cook up extra-crispy). Brush on the lemon juice, followed by the olive oil.

Mix together the pepper, ancho chile powder, and cumin in a separate bowl. This will act as a rub for your turkey legs. Generously rub each turkey leg with the mixture.

Arrange each turkey leg evenly on a baking sheet lined with foil.

 

Roast

Roast at 325F until a thermometer inserted in the legs reads 160, approximately 12 minutes per pound.
