Roasted Turkey Legs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Rinse the turkey legs and pat dry.

Stand the turkey legs upright (as if the turkey were standing).

Press a knife downward into the deep tissue, creating 2 or 3 long pockets.

Press a piece of celery into each opening.

Pull back the skin on the legs, rub with butter, and season with a little salt.

Put the skin back into place, rub with more butter, and season lightly with salt.

Lay the legs in a roasting pan.

Roast uncovered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the legs are golden brown and the internal temperature is 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer.

Add more water if needed while roasting, and baste occasionally with the juices or butter.
