Fire Nation Turkey Leg | Avatar: The Last Airbender Inspired Recipes
Juicy, spicy marinated turkey legs roasted to perfection, inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large skin-on turkey legs
- 6 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Thai seasoning paste (lemon grass, ginger, chile peppers)
- 1 teaspoon red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons ghee or butter melted
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the ghee/butter to form a sticky marinade.
- Gently pull the skin away from the meat and slide 3 tablespoons of butter under the skin.
- Pour the marinade over the turkey legs and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight. Remember to reserve 3 tablespoons of marinade for basting.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Arrange vegetables in a roasting pan and place the turkey legs side-by-side on top of the veggies. Cover the pan and roast for 20 minutes.
- Uncover the turkey legs and spread the remaining marinade over the tops of each leg. Then, brush the melted ghee over the legs.
- Return the pan to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the legs are cooked through and no longer pink.
- Serve the Fire Nation Turkey Legs alongside a cup of jasmine tea, Zuko's honor, and enjoy!
