I decided to make these on thanksgiving and I have never bbq’d turkey legs before and I do not have a smoker, just a weber grill, so I was a little hesitant I wouldn’t be able to control the temp. But I went for it and I am glad I did. This is now the best turkey leg recipe in the our solar system. I left the turkey legs in the brine for about 20 hours almost a full day, and just the smell of the brine got my mouth watering. I got the fire goin and was able to control the temp from 250 – 275 which I was good with, I left the intake vents on the bottom fully open and just used the vents on the top to control the temp, and for me it worked great. Once the legs hit 165 I slathered on the bbq sauce (I used a different kind then what was listed) then returned them back to grill for another 15 min to carnalize, and when the time came to take them off they looked just like the pic, I looked around to see if anyone else could believe what I was seeing but Nailed it!!! Needed to let these rest for a few min while everything else was getting plated and then it was time for the big reveal to the table, and pulling the foil off with the flourish of a magician, everyone’s audible gasps were both confirmation that 1..they looked amazing…and 2. We all couldn’t believe they looked and smelled amazing. Time for the 1st bit and I felt a tear escape from my eye. I t was small and I don’t think anyone else noticed but I felt it. Absolutely delicious. Every bite down to the bone was full of flavor from that brine and the spices. The meat was juicy, the spice hit perfectly! The roaring applause and “Bravo’s” was thanks enough on this Thanksgiving 🙂 Do not deny yourself the best Turkey Leg you will ever have.

Just reading the recipe was mouth-watering to say the least.
