Ingredients for Roasted Turkey Legs With Ghee

• 2 whole bone-in turkey legs (about 2.3kg total) from a 15-7.7kg turkey, drumsticks and thighs separated

How to make Roasted Turkey Legs With Ghee

Toss turkey drumsticks and thighs with salt and place in an airtight container. Chill, covered, 8–24 hours.

Preheat oven to 260°C. Arrange onion in roasting pan and top with rack. Remove turkey from container, pat dry, and transfer to rack, skin side up. Drizzle with 45ml ghee.

Roast 15 minutes. Turn pieces and baste with 1 tablespoon ghee. Roast 15 more minutes, then turn pieces and baste again with 1 tablespoon ghee. Roast 5 more minutes, baste with 1 tablespoon ghee, then continue cooking until the thickest part of meat registers 68°C on an instant-read thermometer, 5–10 minutes more. Let rest at least 10 minutes (the internal temperature will rise to 74°C).
