- Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. Place a large sheet of foil on a medium baking tray.
- In a bowl, mix the bread cubes, celery, cranberries, walnuts, onion and garlic. Season with sage, marjoram, salt and pepper. Stir in the egg and enough hot water to moisten.
- Arrange turkey legs on the foil; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the stuffing mixture around the legs and dot with butter. Tightly seal the foil around the legs and stuffing mixture.
- Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the turkey leg meat has reached an internal temperature of 80 C.
