Answer 1

Hickory Smoked Turkey Legs

My husband made these last weekend and they were so yummy. One of the things we plan on serving for 4th of July.



4 servings 1¾ hours 45 min prep

4 (1/2 lb) turkey drumsticks
vegetable oil
hickory wood chunks or hickory chips, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Sauce
1 tart granny smith apples, peeled,cored,and thinly sliced
1 cup finely chopped white onions
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cinnamon stick
Rub
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

To make the sauce: In a saucepan, stir all the sauce ingredients together using a whisk.
Bring mixture to a boil; lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or so, until the apples are cooked and the sauce is thickened.
Throw out the cinnamon stick; let sauce cool for 5 minutes.
Puree sauce in a blender or food processor.
Equally divide sauce into 2 bowls; set aside.
To make rub: In a bowl or heavy duty plastic zip-top bag add all the rub ingredients; stir or shake to combine.
Rinse the turkey legs under cold water and pat dry.
Coat turkey legs with rub mixture; let stand for 20 minutes at room temperature before grilling.
Spray or lightly brush turkey legs with vegetable oil.
Follow your grill manufacturer's instructions for using wood chunks.
Grill turkey legs over indirect medium heat for approximately 1 hour or until meat thermometer reads 180° when inserted into the thickest part of the meat (baste occasionally with sauce from 1 reserved bowl).
Take legs off grill and served with sauce from the 2nd reserved bowl.

Answer 2

What makes the turkey drumsticks good at the fairs is that they are slow cooked and most likely either injected or placed in a brine before cooking. You might consider the following:

1. Create a brine of 2 quarts water, 3 T salt, 1 T sugar, and 1 T thyme, plus 3 cloves Garlic, crushed, and 1 tsp liquid smoke. Marinate your legs in the brine for 24 hours before grilling.
2. Mound your coals in the center of your grill and wait until they are white hot before putting your turkey legs on the grill.
3. Sear the outside of each drumstick and then move to the outer part of the grill to avoid direct heat.
4. Baste and turn every 20 minutes or so, making sure that the skin does not get too browned.
5. Pierce the thickest part of the meat to see if the juices run clear. If they are pink, place on grill for another 15 minutes and check again.

Basting Sauce: 1 cube butter mixed with 1 tsp worcestershire, 3 T red wine vinegar, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (opt.) and 1 T brown sugar.

I got food poisoning once from eating an undercooked turkey leg at the state fair, so be sure and cook them thoroughly!
