These Slow Roasted Turkey Legs with Garlic and Herbs are fall-apart tender with golden crispy skin and rich herb-infused flavor. A simple yet impressive main dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Turkey Legs
  • 1 Garlic Bulb, halved crosswise
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • 4–5 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Rub turkey legs with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan or Dutch oven.
  3. Add garlic bulb, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves around the turkey. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Cover with foil or lid and roast for 2 hours.
  5. Remove cover, spoon pan juices over meat, and increase oven to 375°F (190°C). Roast uncovered for 30–40 minutes until skin is golden and crisp.
  6. Let rest 10 minutes, then serve with pan juices and roasted garlic.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness — it should reach 165°F near the bone.
  • Resting the meat before serving helps keep it juicy.
  • Save leftover pan juices for gravy or dipping bread.
