📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the dry brine: In a medium bowl, whisk together the salt, brown sugar, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
2
Arrange the turkey on a foil-lined baking sheet and season all over with the dry brine. Transfer to a wire rack and set the rack on the baking sheet. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least ⏱️ 8 hours, ideally overnight.
3
For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine the Maille Dijon Original Mustard, honey, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and mix until smooth. Reserve half the mixture in a separate bowl.
4
Transfer the wire rack with the turkey to a fresh foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with the honey-mustard sauce, then roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest parts of the drumsticks registers 165°F, about ⏱️ 1 hour, ⏱️ 25 minutes. Let rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes; serve with the reserved honey-mustard sauce.
