Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the turkey leg dry with paper towel and rub all over with olive oil in a roasting dish so the dry rub adheres evenly.

3
Roast
Roast the leg at 350°F for 70 minutes, basting once with pan juices, until skin has browned and juices run clear when pierced.
4
Glaze
Brush the bbq sauce over the leg and return to the 350°F oven for 20 minutes until the glaze is sticky and internal thermometer reads 175°F.
