0.5 tsp. black pepper
Half tsp. dried thyme

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Turkey legs and drumsticks:

Use entire turkey legs that are skin-on and bone-in. Although more and more supermarket shops are carrying turkey legs, I still get them from my neighborhood butcher since they are generally of uniform size.

Olive oil:

Any oil with a neutral flavor, such as avocado oil, or olive oil should work nicely. Another good option is softened melted butter.

Dry spices and herbs:

My turkey rub is produced by combining oil, salt, powder of paprika, powdered garlic, powdered onion, powder of black pepper, dried thyme, and flakes of chili.

During the roasting of turkey drumsticks, they release the drippings; and utilize them to make the tasty gravy.
When the turkey’s meat does not remain pink, its fluids flow clear, and its skin is crisp and brown, you know it’s ready to eat. By placing it in the thickest area of the leg, you may also use a meat thermometer to determine the inner temperature of the meat. When turkey reaches 165ºF, it is safe to consume.
