¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
⅛ teaspoon White Pepper, freshly ground
3 or 4 Turkey Legs, bone in
Cold Pressed Olive Oil, to coat

6. Preheat oven to 375F
7. Coat baking tray with oil
8. Remove the turkey legs from the bag and gently pat them with paper towel to wick away any beads of moisture, which will prevent the skin from browning
