Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix vigorously until all ingredients are fully blended, creating a smooth and aromatic herb butter.
- Take your skin-on, bone-in turkey drumsticks and generously rub the herb butter all over each leg. Ensure even coverage, massaging the butter into the skin for maximum flavor infusion.
- Place the seasoned turkey legs on a wire rack set on a baking tray. Tightly wrap the legs with aluminum foil to lock in moisture during cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Once ready, place the wrapped turkey legs in the oven and let them roast for approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes.
- After the slow cooking phase, carefully remove the foil and switch your oven to the broil setting. Return the turkey legs to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Once the skin is beautifully crisped, take the turkey legs out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Notes
Allow the cooked turkey legs to rest for a few minutes after broiling helps the juices redistribute, enhancing the overall juiciness.
