BROWN SUGAR-SOY TURKEY LEGS
Roasting a whole bird is a chore, and Friendsgiving should be a fun, stress-free affair. Cut down on the turkey drama by roasting a pan of legs instead. Besides, everyone knows dark meat is the best part anyway. No more fighting over who gets the legs!

Steps:
- For the brine: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart water to a boil. Add the salt, ginger, peppercorns and star anise, if using. Turn the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Pour into a large container with 1 quart orange juice and 2 quarts water and stir well. Add the turkey legs and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight (no more than 18 hours).
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the turkey legs from the brine and place on the prepared baking sheet. Mix together the remaining cup orange juice and 1 cup water and pour into the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 40 minutes.
- For the glaze: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the brown sugar with 1 cup water, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sugar begins to melt. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until the caramel begins to bubble, about 4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour in the soy sauce 1/4 cup at a time (the caramel will bubble and steam, so keep it at an arm's distance and allow it to calm down between additions). Stir in the fish sauce, scallion whites, garlic and jalapenos. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce comes to a simmer. Remove the foil from the turkey legs. Baste the turkey legs with half of the caramel sauce, flipping the legs over to coat both sides, and bake for another 20 minutes. Repeat the process with the remainder of the sauce, and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the leg registers 165 degrees F, about 15 more minutes. Remove to a serving dish and cover with foil, then allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with the scallion greens.

ROASTED TURKEY DRUMSTICKS WITH STAR ANISE AND SOY SAUCE
Back in 2011, Melissa Clark revisited the turkey. "Just because we don't think to make it the star of a meal in May doesn't mean turkey won't taste as good as it did in November," she wrote. She took several approaches: cooking the parts separately, then braising them slowly; simmering ground turkey with pancetta for a ragù; and this one, where turkey drumsticks are coated in a mixture featuring soy sauce, honey and star anise, then cooked in a 400-degree oven. It's a worthy weekend meal, or one for a weekday when work gets out early. Pair it with white rice, to sop up the reserved marinade.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, honey, sherry, scallions, ginger, star anise and garlic. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Whisk in the oil. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat the drumsticks dry; season with salt and pepper and place on prepared pan. Brush turkey all over with half the remaining marinade (leave as much of the solids in the saucepan as possible). Scatter star anise over drumsticks (some will fall on baking pan, and that's fine). Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Roast drumsticks, turning and basting with more of the marinade occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drizzle with reserved marinade before serving.

Steps:
- In a large bowl pour in all of the Turkey Broth/Stock (Could also be Chicken Stock) and marinate the uncooked Turkey Legs overnight, or at least 3 hours, in the refrigerator.
- After 3-8 hours in the refrigerator, take a large roasting pan with a wire rack, remove the refrigerated legs from the bowl of broth---use tongs and place directly on the roasting rack/pan. Sprinkle generous amount of salt, black pepper, and onion powder on each leg. Spread foil across the top of the roasting pan to keep the legs covered while roasting in a pre-heated 350F oven.
- Meanwhile, melt a stick of butter in a saucepan---until it's liquified.
- 8 legs usually take about 1hour and 45 minutes to fully cook. The legs need to be turned/flipped with tongs, basted (brushed with the melted butter) and then re-seasoned with just the onion powder and black pepper--- every 20 minutes during roasting.
- Turkey legs are usually done after insterting a meat thermometer that registers 175F in the thickest part of the leg, however, they do keep cooking even after they're removed from the oven.
- The cooked turkey pan juices and drippings are usually used to flavor gravy and stuffing.
ROASTED SMOKY TURKEY LEGS
My husband and I absolutely LOVE the smoked turkey legs that are available at the nearby theme parks. This is a close, smokeless, version of those turkey legs that hold a very special place in our hearts. The passive cooking time includes the brining time.

Steps:
- Mix the salt, brown sugar, liquid smoke and water together until all is dissolved and pour the briny mixture over the turkey legs.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 24-hours to 72-hours.
- Rinse the brine off the turkey, pat dry with paper towels and roast at 350°F for about 45 minutes.
- By this time, the turkey will almost be done, but the skin will still have a pale color, so I crank the oven up to 500°F and roast the legs/wings until they are a rich mahogany color, then I flip them over and roast the other side until it is also deep brown.

CURRIED TURKEY LEGS
Adopted! I was born and raised in a small village where most of the residesnt depended on their farm animals for their livelyhood. Our meat was mainly pork and chicken with an occasional pound of hamburger boutht at the butcher shop. Young calves were seldom eaten. The were shipped to market for cash. In those days, a young calf would bring about $75 which would buy a lot of school shoes. When I left home and started to work, I ate mainly in restaurants. I soon loved to enjoy the taste of lamb. In later years I was dining in a restaurant in North Africa, when a diner near me who had just ordered leg of lamb queried the waiter, "Did you know that if you fixed a turkey leg in this manner that it would taste just leg of lamb?" "Yes," the waiter replied, "That's what that is." When I was able to find two turkey legs in the bazaar, I bought them and took them back to my apartment and cooked them basically like this recipe. He was right they did taste just like curried log of lamb and at about a quarter of the price. I have been eating them ever since. I am happy to post this recipe because I know every who likes lamb will enjoy it immensely.
