WILD GAME RUB

This rub is for the hunters out there who want a good flavor to season their elk, rabbit, deer, moose, etc. It can also be used on domestic meats as well.

Recipe: Wild Game Rub Roasted Turkey Legs

Serves 4 | Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: approximately 1 1/2–2 hours | Rest: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 domestic turkey drumsticks, approximately 12–16 ounces each, thawed if frozen
• 1 tablespoon Betcha Got Seasonings Wild Game Rub, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, thickly sliced
• 1 cup unsalted chicken broth

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the onion slices in a roasting pan and add the broth.
2. Pat the turkey legs dry. Coat with olive oil and Wild Game Rub, then place on top of the onions.
3. Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast for 1 hour. Carefully remove the foil, keeping clear of the steam.
4. Roast uncovered for another 30–60 minutes until the skin is browned and the meat is tender. Check the thickest part of each leg without touching bone: turkey must reach at least 165°F, and drumsticks are often more tender around 175–180°F. Larger legs may need more time. If the pan dries out, add a little water.
5. Rest for 10 minutes, then serve with the onions and pan juices. Pair with roasted potatoes or vegetables.

Tip: This recipe uses domestic turkey drumsticks. Use a food thermometer rather than cooking time alone to check doneness.
