Broiled Turkey's Legs

Cut off the legs of a cold roasted turkey, sprinkle them over with salt, pepper and cayenne, and cut them slightly across with a sharp knife. Squeeze some lemon juice over, place them on a well-greased gridiron and broil until nicely browned on both sides over a clear fire. When finished place the legs on a hot dish, baste them with warmed butter, and serve.
