Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds fresh Turkey Legs
  • Spray Olive Oil

For the rub

  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned Pepper
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 stems of fresh Rosemary - pulled and diced

Sides

  • 16 ounces Cranberry Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ½ cup Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 6 ounces Stove Top Stuffing mix

Instructions

  • First, mix the Garlic Powder, Garlic Salt, Seasoned Pepper, Brown Sugar, and Rosemary, and set aside.
  • Lay the Turkey Legs in the Air Fryer Basket, and spray them on both sides with the Spray Olive Oil.
  • Rub the Turkey Legs with the Rub mixture, on both sides, and set the Air Fryer temperature to 400 degrees, and set the time to 20 minutes.
  • Cook the Turkey Legs for the first 20 minutes, and open the Air Fryer, and turn the Legs with kitchen tongs.
  • Place the basket back in the Air Fryer, and cook for another 20 minutes.
  • Open the Air Fryer, and place a Poultry thermometer in the thickest part of the Turkey leg.
  • The Thermometer should read 'DONE', and the little needle should be all the way over to the DONE side of the reader. If it's not, cook the Turkey Legs for another 5 minutes, and use the thermometer to ensure they're done. (You can purchase the Poultry thermometers at most Grocery Stores, or Walmart Markets).
  • While the Turkey Legs are cooking, make the Stove Top Stuffing according to package directions.
  • Mix the Cranberry Sauce with the Sugar, Honey, and Cinnamon, in a small dish, and place in the refrigerator until time to serve.
  • When the Turkey Legs are done, you can plate them on top of the Stuffing and serve Cranberry Sauce on the side. Enjoy!
