Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

3-6 turkey legs
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Canola or olive oil, for grilling

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a roasting pan with foil. Combine seasoned salt, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Liberally rub mixture into turkey legs, and place turkey legs in your foil-lined pan.
Cover the pan with foil and roast for 75 to 90 minutes until the turkey legs are very tender and register 175-180°F in the thickest part of the leg.
Remove turkey legs from the roasting pan. Preheat a grill to high heat.
Right before serving, dry the turkey legs with a paper towel and brush them with some canola or vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Then grill turkey legs over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side to crisp up the skin. Serve immediately.
