Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Put turkey drumsticks in a large bowl with enough water to cover. Stir salt into water to dissolve.

Step 3

Brine drumsticks in refrigerator for 2 hours; drain. Rinse drumsticks with clean water and pat dry.

Step 4

Brush butter over drumsticks to coat; season with black pepper.

Step 5

Pour chicken broth into a roasting pan. Lay turkey legs into the broth. Place a lid on the roasting pan.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
