  • 1 whole turkey leg
  • mirepoix
Set a turkey leg on a rack over a bed of mirepoix.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, white pepper and kosher salt to one cup of butter for basting.
  • 1 cup butter
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • cayenne pepper
  • white pepper
  • kosher salt
Brush the leg well to start, then roast at 400F, preferably convection, for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Take it out to baste every 15 minutes or so, rotating it for even heat, until the skin is brown and the meat registers at least 175F at its thickest point.
