ROASTED SMOKY TURKEY LEGS

Roasted Smoky Turkey Legs image

My husband and I absolutely LOVE the smoked turkey legs that are available at the nearby theme parks. This is a close, smokeless, version of those turkey legs that hold a very special place in our hearts. The passive cooking time includes the brining time.

Time P1DT2h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup Morton Tender Quick salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
1/2 gallon water (or enough water to cover pieces)
10 turkey legs (turkey wings, whole turkey or whole chicken)

Steps:

Mix the salt, brown sugar, liquid smoke and water together until all is dissolved and pour the briny mixture over the turkey legs.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 24-hours to 72-hours.
Rinse the brine off the turkey, pat dry with paper towels and roast at 350°F for about 45 minutes.
By this time, the turkey will almost be done, but the skin will still have a pale color, so I crank the oven up to 500°F and roast the legs/wings until they are a rich mahogany color, then I flip them over and roast the other side until it is also deep brown.

Categories main-dish

Time 5h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

6 turkey legs
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Dry Rub, recipe follows
Mop, recipe follows
Your favorite BBQ sauce, as needed, (recommended: North of the Border Chipotle BBQ Sauce)
1/4 cup chipotle seasoning, (recommended: North of the Border Chipotle Seasoning)
1 to 2 tablespoons mild dried ground red chili or paprika
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon BBQ sauce, (recommended: North of the Border Chipotle Barbecue Sauce)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

Several hours before planning on barbecuing, loosen the skin on the turkey legs by running your fingers under it as far as possible without tearing the skin.
Combine the Worcestershire sauce and the oil. Coat your fingers with the mixture and rub really well into the turkey legs, getting as much as you can under the skin. Sprinkle the Dry Rub over the skin, liberally rubbing into the turkey legs and under the skin. Place the legs in plastic bags and refrigerate.
Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200 to 220 degrees F. Remove the turkey legs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Re-warm the mop mixture over low heat.
Transfer the turkey legs to the smoker. Cook until the legs are very tender and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Mop the legs at 45-minute intervals in a wood-burning pit, or as appropriate for your style of smoker. Serve the legs hot, to be eaten with your fingers, with a side of barbecue sauce.
Mix ingredients together in a small bowl.
Combine the mop ingredients in a small saucepan and warm the mixture over low heat.
