Rinse the legs and pat them completely dry.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the butter with the cumin, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and rub the mixture all over the drumsticks, getting underneath the skin if you can.

Slice the turkey and serve with the remaining pomegranate molasses on the side.

BAKED TURKEY WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Separate the turkey wings at the joint if they are not already divided. Cut the skin and meat around the joint to reveal it slightly. Grab the wing with both hands and break it at the joint. The two parts will still be attached here and there. Retake the knife and cut around to release them completely.
• Season: Place the wing sections into a large (deeper) roasting tin. Rub them well with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dry rub, and use your hands to coat them completely with the spices.
• Bake covered: Pour the hot stock into the tin around the wings so that the spices are not washed away. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour.
• Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and continue roasting for 45 minutes or until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
• Check internal temperature: If the wings are larger, prolong the cooking time until the turkey's internal temperature is 74 degrees Celsius/ 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Check that with a meat thermometer or by cutting into the thickest part of a wing, the meat should be soft, and the juices should run clear.

• Remove onion slices from the mixture, and arrange on the prepared grill. Place turkey legs over the onions. Drizzle with honey, and season with steak seasoning. Cook, tuning once, 20 minutes, or until a crisp browned crust has formed on the turkey legs.

POT ROASTED TURKEY LEGS OR WINGS

Steps:

• Ingredient amounts are any amount you wish to use.
• This is a method more than a recipe since the amounts you use will depend upon how many you are serving and whether you want to have turkey to freeze for future casseroles/salads.
• Generally speaking, roast 6 legs/wings at a time, usually enough for supper and lots left for freezing Ask your butcher to cut the turkey legs crosswise for you, dividing each one of them into three pieces, a bony part at the bottom which is saved for broth making and two equal portions from the fleshy part of the leg.
• Place the fleshy parts of the legs in an uncovered roaster, and bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour.
• Sprinkle the legs with sage, salt and pepper, add water to roaster, cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
• Remove the roaster from the oven, add the potatoes, onions and carrots, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, cover roaster and roast for another hour or until veggies are tender.
• (Those troublesome tendons in the turkey legs which cause so much trouble are very easy to remove after the meat is tender.) Serve the turkey and veggies, counting exchanges for the portion used.
• After the unused turkey is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and freeze in portions to use for future casseroles or salads.
• Calculate the exchanges used according the the amount used.
• Low sodium diets- omit salt.
• low cholesterol diets, may be used as is.
