Oven Fried Turkey Legs

One of my favorite chicken recipes is this Oven Fried Chicken, so I decided recently to mix it up and use it for turkey legs!

The result?

Amazing!

I have a thing for turkey legs! Yes, a thing. They are so good! I also love the crunchy skin on turkey legs and chicken but I like to do a lighter version of ‘frying’ because it already has enough oils and juice in it without using more oil to fry it in. This simple recipe uses flour and a few spices then you simply coat it over the turkey legs and ‘oven fry’ it.

I love the result because it is a crunchy, juicy fried taste without all the unnecessary oil! Perfection!

This was one of those recipes that I barely made it through taking pictures without eating one. These are best served right out of the oven because that is when the meat is nice and juicy. I always feel like when they are reheated later although they are still good, the meat is a little bit dried out at that point.

This recipe can be adapted for Oven Fried Chicken or really any type of meat you would want to ‘oven fry’.

Head on over and join me for a Turkey Leg!

Enjoy!
