  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried thyme

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the turkey legs by patting them dry with paper towels.
  2. Combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a seasoning mixture.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both turkey legs, ensuring they are completely coated.
  4. Place the seasoned turkey legs in a roasting pan and pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
  5. Roast the turkey legs for 60 minutes, or until their internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
  6. Allow the cooked turkey legs to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving them to retain their juices.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
