Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Turkey leg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary, fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sage, fresh, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.
Pat the turkey leg dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Rub the marinade evenly all over the turkey leg, ensuring that it is well coated with the herb and spice mixture.
Place the turkey leg in a roasting pan or baking dish, then add the pats of butter on top of the turkey leg.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast the turkey leg for 1 hour, then remove the foil to allow the skin to crisp up.
Continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature of the turkey leg reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the turkey leg from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the savory roast turkey leg hot with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
