Succulent herb-roasted turkey legs with rich wine-infused gravy.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 turkey legs, rinsed and patted dry
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
  • 1.5 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 0.5 tablespoon red cooking wine, or to taste
  • 0.5 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock
  • 4 dashes browning sauce (such as Gravy Master®)
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for the perfect baking temperature.
  • Drizzle olive oil in a roasting pan. Add turkey legs and coat by turning them several times in the oil. Sprinkle legs with salt, black pepper, thyme, and pull leaves from 3 sprigs of rosemary to sprinkle on top. Place remaining 3 rosemary sprigs around legs in the oil. Top legs with butter pieces, sprinkle with garlic, and scatter onion in the pan.
  • Roast the turkey legs in the preheated oven until the skin is browned, and the juices run clear, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting every 20 minutes. Lower the heat to 300°F (150°C), turn the legs in the pan, and continue roasting for another hour, basting every 20 minutes. Finally, reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C) and roast until the skin is golden brown, approximately 1 more hour. Transfer the turkey legs to a serving platter.
  • Transfer the roasting pan with drippings to a medium heat burner, add cooking wine and brown sugar, whisk until sugar dissolves. Scrape up any brown bits, gradually whisk in flour, then pour in chicken stock. Whisk until simmering and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in browning sauce, simmer for 3-5 minutes, then serve with turkey legs.
