A turkey leg is much easier to prepare than a whole bird; besides taking much less time to cook, there's none of the worry about making sure the legs are cooked without overcooking the breast meat. In this recipe, the turkey leg is seasoned with garlic and herbs and allowed to marinate, for as long as a day. Then it's seared in a pan to brown all sides before being tucked into the oven, with potatoes added about halfway through.
