Turkey Legs, Raw

Turkey Legs, Raw

EverydayRaw

Turkey legs are a dark meat poultry cut consisting of the drumstick and thigh, known for their robust flavor and firmer texture compared to white meat. This protein-rich cut contains higher iron levels than turkey breast but also more fat, particularly when the skin is left intact. Often roasted, smoked, or braised, raw turkey legs require thorough cooking to achieve tender results while allowing users to control fat content by removing the skin before preparation.
