Ingredients
- 1 cup whole grain mustard
- 1/2 cup beer
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 turkey legs
- 2 onions, thinly sliced

- Pour the marinade into a freezer bag or roasting pan. Add the turkey legs and turn to coat well. Marinate overnight in the fridge, or at least 1 hour.
