1. turkey Legs most important thing you can't make this without them
2. Salt (1/5 tsp.)
3. Garlic Powder (1/6 tsp.)
4. Ground Black Pepper (this one varies depending on how much you like)
5. Season Salt (1/4 tsp.) (you can use Season All if you can't find Season Salt it'll taste about the same)
6. Limon 1 (optional)
7. Heat up the oven to 350 before seasoning
8. 2 hours of spare time (watching tv Esc.)

Small update here, if you want you can mix all the above ingredients in a bowl (besides the Limon) and then just spread it evenly on all the turkey legs. By the way the measurements here are for only 1 turkey leg, if you going to make more then follow the steps on the next page.

How would you adjust this for MONSTER turkey drumsticks (like 2 1/2 pounds each!)

I would just double up the measurements of the seasonings (see instructable) and than I would go ahead and make the "optional" "mix in bowl" step mandatory. once all your seasonings are mixed (you can add 1-2 drops of oil so your seasonings don't keep separating in the bowl) just sprinkle by hand over the turkey legs until you get the desired amount or you could roughly estimate by the pictures how much use

one more thing I forgot to mention you will likely have to cook them longer to insure they are fully cooked and no one gets sick. use a thermometer if you have it just be sure to poke down near the bone and that it reads at least 165

what would be the cooking time if I added four wings????

also my ham is suppose to cok at 325, could I adjust the heat so I could do both legs and ham being at same temp 325

Sorry if this is really late (like 3 years) but I hardly visit anymore. and yes you can cook at a lower temperature. keep in mind though having more items in the oven usually correlates to longer cooking times (as well as the fact you are cooking at a lower temperature) but it shouldn't be a problem in fact it may even come out more tender if you cook it long enough

By "Limon" do you mean lemon, lime, or the fake fruit that is supposedly in Sprite?

bbowers5 in reply to morolinNov 22, 2011. 11:46 AM

lemon is more traditional, but lime would work too. (for a more caribbean taste, you could use lime and cumin, and garnish with fresh onion and cilantro.)

Strider (author) in reply to morolinJul 17, 2010. 10:11 PM

Yeah, made this a couple years back. I meant to spell Lemon, but obviously I messed up, thanks for that.

"Stick Your Foil Covered Turkey Legs in the oven at 350 degrees (By The Way don't change the temprature they cook at this heat the whole time)."

They didn't forget. =P

Did you cook both sides, then put them back in the oven without foilf again? Sorry, I dont understand.

JBirren in reply to kieRAWRJul 22, 2011. 7:32 AM

No he cooked one side covered for an hour, then flipped them and seasoned again, and cooked another hour UNcovered. For extra yum, try doing this but only about 50 minutes for the uncovered part, then put them on the grill for about 5 per side - YUM.

what do you do with the lemon in this recipe it didn't say, and how long do you keep the foil on it in the oven , need to know as soon as possible because i plan to cook them tommrrow when i get home from work , thanks a lot they look really really good.

Strider (author) in reply to smartcarApr 19, 2011. 8:53 AM

Actually in step 3 it tells you to take it off after an hour and when you move on to step 4 it will say to leave it off and cook one more hour, hope that clears it up!

Hi there, I apologize for getting to you a day late, but as you might tell I haven't been active in quite some time. However what you want to do with the lemon in this recipe is just to squeeze it over the Turkey legs, I personally find it can add a nice zing but don't add to much or it may end up overpowering the other seasonings. I guess I may as well correct this here in the recipe it calls for lemon (1) but using 1 lemon on a single turkey leg will lead to disaster, I would use 1 lemon for about 5-7 turkey legs.

smartcar says: Apr 17, 2011. 8:37 PM

The temperature for these are in the recipe it is 350 in number 7 .

Love this recipe. Never cooked turkey legs, but have ate plenty of them. First timer here and want to say thanks for the great experience. Without the recipe, I would probably be crying right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Strider (author) in reply to old,new,something,blueNov 2, 2009. 6:56 AM

No problem, glad you enjoyed this recipe for baked turkey.

susanscott says: Mar 16, 2009. 5:03 PM

Excellent recipe thanks, I just made this and it turned out great.

omorgano says: Dec 29, 2008. 1:19 PM

I just cooked two Turkey legs using this recipe. They were done after the first hour, so maybe I could have taken the foil off a little sooner for the browning. The leg I ate was delicious. Thank you for the posting of this simple and tasty recipe!! Fresno, Ca

Why would you cook it for 3 hours when it only takes two for a whole turkey?

Strider (author) in reply to Crash2108Jan 5, 2008. 10:52 PM

Well it depends on the size of the turkey. Though Ihave neverheard of a turkey cooking for only 2hours at least not thesize we get and I might remind you that these were not only raw butI like them to be slightly taosty
