4 juniper berries
2 tablespoons (30 ml) coriander seeds
The leaves of 1 sprig fresh thyme
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pink peppercorns
2 cloves

First prepare the Seasoned Salt. To do this, combine the salt, bay leaves, juniper berries, coriander seeds, thyme, peppercorns and cloves.
Place the turkey legs in a large pan. Sprinkle each leg with 20 ml (4 teaspoons) of seasoned salt. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Preheat the oven to 140 °C (275 °F).
Rinse and pat turkey legs dry.
Clean the pan and place the meat. In another saucepan, melt the duck fat over low heat. Pour over the turkey to cover.
Cover and bake for about 3 hours, until the meat falls easily from the bone. Debone and serve in a salad.
