  • Put the turkey leg on top of this roasting foil.
  • Evenly spread the rosemary, olive oil and salt (if you choose to add this) over the turkey leg.

  • Cook the turkey leg in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Take the turkey leg out of the oven and partially open the top of the roasting foil, so that most of turkey leg is exposed.
  • Spoon some of the excess oil that the turkey sits in over the top of the leg.
  • Place the turkey back in the oven and cook for another 1 hour, this time at 220°C (200°C fan).

Stage 2 – the Vegetables

  • Gather the vegetables and wash them thoroughly.
  • Peel the carrots and the parsnip and chop off the ends.
  • Chop the carrots and parsnips into chunky slices.
  • Place the vegetables into a pot and add the sea salt.
  • Parboil the vegetables for 20 minutes.
  • Place the vegetables on a tinfoil tray/ oven tray and spread the olive oil evenly over them.
  • Cook the vegetables in the oven for 45 minutes at 220°C (200°C fan).

Stage 3 – the Turkey Leg and Vegetables together

  • Serve the turkey leg with the vegetables together, either on the same plate or with the vegetables on a side plate.
