How long do you cook a turkey leg quarter?

The cooking time for a turkey leg quarter depends on the method you are using to cook it. Here are the general cooking times for different cooking methods:

1. Oven Roasting: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the turkey leg quarter in a roasting pan and rub it with a mixture of olive oil and your preferred seasonings. Roast the turkey leg quarter in the oven for about 50 minutes to 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

2. Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the turkey leg quarter with olive oil and your preferred seasonings. Place the turkey leg quarter on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

3. Stovetop Braising: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat some oil on medium heat. Brown the turkey leg quarter on all sides. Once browned, add enough liquid (such as broth or water) to cover about half of the turkey leg. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 45 minutes to 60 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

4. Pressure Cooking: If you are using a pressure cooker, follow the instructions provided by your specific cooker. Typically, you will need to cook the turkey leg quarter in the pressure cooker for about 15-20 minutes at high pressure, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Remember that cooking times can vary depending on the size of the turkey leg quarter and your cooking preferences. It is essential to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey leg quarter is cooked to the proper internal temperature to ensure food safety.
