Turkey Leg Roulade Recipe<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you’re hosting a small crowd for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner or just want delicious turkey dinner anytime, this Turkey Leg Roulade recipe is the perfect main for four.<\/p>\n
This Turkey Leg recipe is quick and surprisingly easy to make with minimum prep time. This is a very simplified unstuffed turkey roulade so you don\u2019t need to spend extra time in the kitchen making stuffing. Deboned turkey leg is rubbed with dry herbs and spices before being rolled up and roasted in the oven until cooked to perfection.<\/p>\n
The Turkey Leg Roulade can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before roasting.<\/p>\n
For this recipe, you will need to remove the bone from the turkey leg, but you can buy a whole boneless turkey leg or just ask your butcher to do the work for you. Usually, I like to cut up a whole turkey and separate the turkey legs from the breast. I use the dark meat to make this roulade and the breast \u2013 for the most incredible Roasted Turkey Breast<\/a>. The carcass and leftovers go for a turkey bone broth or soup!<\/p>\n

Easy Healthier Turkey Gravy<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
To the Turkey Leg Roulade, I love to add homemade flavorful turkey gravy. This is easy, healthier turkey gravy made with 4 ingredients: the turkey pan juice, unsalted chicken broth, cornstarch, and just a little butter. With only 5 minutes of prep time, this incredible turkey gravy produces the perfect balance of smooth texture and rich flavors!<\/p>\n
