1-Getting roasted turkey legs just right involves a few key steps that lead to tender, flavorful results every time. Start by preheating your oven to 450°F to achieve that crispy skin. This high heat helps lock in juices and creates a delicious exterior, making it ideal for home cooks aiming for perfection.

2-First, line a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a greased rack inside for even cooking. Pat the 4 turkey legs dry to remove excess moisture, which ensures the skin crisps up nicely. Brush them with the 1/4 cup of melted butter, then rub on the seasoning mix of 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon paprika.

3-Arrange the legs on the rack and lightly spray with avocado oil to keep the spices from burning. Roast uncovered for 15 minutes to brown the skin, then loosely cover with foil and continue roasting for an additional 30 to 50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. After removing from the oven, let the legs rest covered for 10 minutes to redistribute juices for optimal moisture and flavor.
