  • 1 whole turkey leg
  • mirepoix
Place the turkey leg on a rack over a bed of mirepoix.
  • 1 cup butter
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • cayenne pepper
  • white pepper
  • kosher salt
Add garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, white pepper and kosher salt to one cup of butter for basting, and brush the leg heavily to start.
Roast at 400F, preferably with convection, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Baste every 15 or so minutes and rotate the leg for even heat.
Roast until the skin is brown and the meat registers at least 175F at its thickest point.
