FESTIVAL AND THEME PARK TURKEY LEGS



Festival and Theme Park Turkey Legs image

We love the turkey legs they serve at the local Flea Market, the Colorado Rennaissance Festival and at our theme parks, so we sought out the recipe and now use this excellent version to indulge in that tasty finger [hand] food.This is supposedly the authentic recipe used by turkey leg vendors at fairs and festivals. Boiling the turkey legs first may seem like cheating but if you have to make thousands of them to sell you don't want to have them sitting on your grill for 20 to 30 minutes before you sell them. Original recipe from the About.com website. For easy serving, after grilling, wrap the bottom end of the legs in aluminum foil and a napkin or paper towel to make a great "holder".

MY THEME PARK STYLE TURKEY LEGS



My Theme Park Style Turkey Legs image

There are many versions out there on how to make those theme park turkey legs that I have found. Some were way too salty or smokey for us. So I experimented and came up with this simple version that was close as we could get to those you get at the parks. We just use a simple back yard smoker, nothing fancy and they tasted so good.

Categories     Poultry

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -6 large turkey legs
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons peppercorns
1/2 gallon vegetable stock, chicken stock or, water and use a chicken base
1 gallon ice water
6 teaspoons liquid smoke

Steps:

  • This is my version that worked well for us. I brine for 24 hours. Heat your smoker to 220 degrees with real charcoal chunks. Add your favorite wood chips if you like. We then smoke the legs until done, it's about 4 hours for nice sized legs. The turkey comes out with a nice "hammy" texture. They may not be exactly like the theme park turkey legs but sure comes close enough for us.
  • Heat 1/2 gallon of water or stock to a boil to dissolve the salt, brown sugar and base if using.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Add to your brine pot along with 1 gallon of ice water and brine for 24 hours.
  • ***Note: Apple wood or Cherry wood chips are a sweeter milder smoke than Hickory wood.
