Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 turkey legs
  • 4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. If using butter put it in a small microwave safe bowl melt microwave it until it is melted.
  2. Add the seasonings to the melted butter or oil and stir to combine.
  3. Pat the legs dry with a paper towel. Brush the seasoning mixture all over the drumsticks. Pull the skin back and brush a little bit underneath.
  4. Use parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer basket if desired to make cleanup easier.
  5. Put the legs in the air fryer basket and air fry at 390 for 25-30 minutes.
  6. The legs are done when they reach an internal temp of 165 degrees F. Always check the temperature with a meat thermometer, don't just go based on cooking time.
  7. If the drumsticks need more cooking time return them to the air fryer for another 5-10 minutes additional time and check the internal temp again.
  8. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
