Orange Glazed Turkey Legs

Try this method with any sort of poultry, like chicken or Cornish hens. I use marmalade and preserves a lot when marinating or glazing meats. It has a lot of sugar, so don't add the glaze early. Add in last 15 minutes of cooking. Apricot is a wonderful addition to barbeque sauce.

Orange Turkey Legs

1 turkey leg per person
1 tbl of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of orange marmalade
1 dash soy sauce
1 splash water or stock
EVOO
Salt and pepper


Salt and pepper the turkey legs. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast in 400 degree oven. As the legs cook, mix the marmalade, mustard, soy, and water. Mix in 1 T of olive oil. Stir the glaze. During last 15 minutes of cooking, glaze the legs with the marmalade mixture. The legs should take about one hour to roast. Check the temp. Pull them when they are 165. Let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve with rice and roasted veggies. Enjoy!
