This Thanksgiving, I’m doubling down on dark meat (the best part of the turkey) and less stress. We’re making turkey legs. What’s a turkey leg? Apparently it depends on who you ask (?), but I’m here to tell you it’s the thigh and the drumstick. These turkey legs are seasoned a day ahead in salt, pepper and sugar, and day of, they’re roasted in shallots, herbs, and (lots of) fat. That’s it. You're done. Almost no work (you didn't baste!) and the payoff is moist meat that comes right off the bone (carving be damned!) and hours back of your life.
