Directions
Roasted Turkey Legs,Small scale turkey dinner.,180 internal temp makes it too dry. Remove at 165 degrees cover with tin foil and it raises to 170 degrees in about 10 min. The USDA changed this recommendation back in 2004.,This was an amazing recipe!!! Even my daughter, who prefers white meat and never touches drumsticks at Thanksgiving, wolfed it down and asked if I could make it again. I LOVED the celery, but we are going to experiment this weekend using onion and garlic to see how it changes things. I also used some home made chicken broth I had on hand, instead of water, to roast the legs. Thank you for such an unexpected recipe treat!
