HOW TO MAKE ROASTED TURKEY LEG WITH HONEY AND SPICES
Step 1: With a sharp knife make 2 to 3 cuts across the turkey leg.
Step 2: On a baking dish, place the onion cut into round slices together with the turkey leg. Season with a little salt, thyme, nutmeg, pepper, oregano, honey, olive oil, paprika, the peeled whole garlic, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and honey.
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
Step 4: Bake until golden brown, about 1 hour and 45 minutes (if it starts to golden too much, cover the leg with aluminum foil). Occasionally drizzle with the sauce.

TIPS FOR ROASTED TURKEY LEG WITH HONEY AND SPICES
1. If the turkey starts to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.
2. We usually roast the turkey leg at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to roast, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors and the meat gets more tender.
3. If you have leftovers, store the meat in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out the meat, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
