Barbecue Turkey Legs And Wings Recipes

GEORGIA PEACH BBQ TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the turkey wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the oil and barbecue spice blend. Massage the wings until evenly coated on all sides. Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet. Set the oil remaining in the bowl aside. Roast until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and are golden brown and crispy, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the barbecue sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in the oil remaining from the bowl the wings were tossed in. Add the shallot and garlic. Cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the peaches, tomato paste and maple syrup. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to caramelize. Pour in the stock and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and paprika. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Add kosher salt to taste.
• Remove the wings from the oven and brush generously with the sauce. Return to the oven and broil for 3 minutes, until the sauce bubbles and begins to brown. Serve immediately garnished with parsley and with extra sauce as desired.

BBQ SMOKED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• Cut the turkey wings into drumettes and flats; discard the wing tips. Soak apple wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours. Prepare a charcoal grill for cooking with indirect heat and bring the temperature to 250 degrees F.
• Stir together the paprika, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl. Drizzle the wings with canola oil and liberally coat with the spice mix. (You may not need all of it.)
• Sprinkle the wood chips over the hot charcoals. Coat the grill grate with nonstick cooking spray. Place the wings over the unlit side of the grill. Close the grill lid and smoke the wings until they reach 165 degrees F, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Remove the wings from the grill and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
• Serve with barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.

BARBECUED TURKEY LEGS

Steps:

• The day before, make a dry brine: Put 2 wire racks on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Mix together the sugar, chili powder, mustard powder, garlic powder, cayenne and 1/2 cup salt. Pat the turkey drumsticks dry. Put 2 drumsticks in a large shallow bowl and sprinkle generously with the dry brine, rubbing it into every nook and cranny. Transfer to one of the wire racks. Working in batches, sprinkle and rub the remaining drumsticks with the dry brine and transfer to the wire racks. Sprinkle the drumsticks on the racks with any remaining dry brine. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours and preferably up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the drumsticks, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through cooking, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer measures at least 200 degrees F, about 2 hours. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer the drumsticks to large re-sealable plastic bags. (The turkey can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
• Preheat a gas grill to medium-low or prepare a charcoal for medium-low indirect heat: bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results).
• Brush the grill grates with oil. Put the drumsticks on the grill (or indirect side if using charcoal) and cook, turning and basting with the barbecue sauce every 5 minutes, until the drumsticks are deep amber on the outside and heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes, then wrap the exposed bone-end of each drumstick with foil and serve while warm.

GRILLED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• Place the turkey wings in a pot, cover with the water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid and boil the wings gently for 15 minutes, then set them aside in the broth until ready to grill.
• To make the grilling sauce, mix together all the remaining ingredients and set side. You should have about 1/2 cup.
• When ready to grill, remove the wings from the broth (freezing the stock for future use in soup or stew), place them on a grill (preferably with a cover) over medium-high to high heat, cover and grill for about 12 minutes. Turn the wings over (the underside should be nicely browned) and brush them with the sauce. Grill, covered, for another 12 minutes. Turn again, brush with the sauce, and grill for another 5 minutes. The wings should be well browned on all sides.
• Arrange the wings on a serving platter, brush with the leftover grilling sauce, and either serve immediately or cool to lukewarm before serving.

OVEN BARBECUED TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• In saucepan, melt butter. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft.
• Stir in chili powder and cook one minute.
• Add ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, salt basil, pepper and Tabasco. Stirring constantly, bring sauce to a simmer.
• Remove from heat; set aside.
• Place turkey pieces in large roasting pan. Pour sauce evenly over pieces. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for two hours.
• Remove foil and continue baking for 20 minutes.
• Remove turkey to serving platter. Skim excess fat from sauce in pan. Spoon sauce over turkey or serve separately. You will get one serving per wing.
