BAKED BBQ TURKEY DRUMSTICKS
This is a really simple recipe to make that I found on the net somewhere. I don't remember but I made it last night and all I can say is the sauce is memorable. It was very very tasty. Sweet and tangy. You could even make the sauce on its own for other purposes. I made steamed broccoli and I threw in red potatoes in foil on the rack above the turkey. It was and is devine! And the kids loved it too!

Steps:
- For the rub: Mix the five-spice powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, granulated garlic, and onion powder together in a bowl. Smear the spices all over the drumsticks. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-hot fire on one side of the grill for both direct and indirect cooking. Position a drip pan under the grate on the cool side. Toss 1/2 cup soaked wood chips onto the coals.
- Lay the turkey legs on the grate over the drip pan. Cover the grill and position the lid's vent holes directly over the meat. When the fire dies down, after 45 minutes or so, add about a 1/2 dozen pieces of cold charcoal and the remaining wood chips to maintain a medium to medium-low smoky fire.
- Meanwhile, make the mop: Whisk together the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin, chili sauce, and scallions.
- Set aside about half the sauce for serving. After about 1 hour, mop the turkey drumsticks with some of the mop and flip. Mop and flip every 10 minutes or so until the legs are browned and glazed and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers about 170 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes more. Serve the drumsticks with the reserved mop on the side.

BARBECUED TURKEY LEGS
Wishing you were at the game? Raise a giant drumstick -- in spirit -- with all the other Hawkeye football fans at the University of Iowa. These massive barbecued bird legs are a tailgating tradition at the black-and-gold school. Now you can make them at home with an easy dry brine that eliminates the need for submerging them in a big pot of salted water.

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.

Steps:
- Place the turkey legs into a 4 quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Pour in just enough water to cover them. Sprinkle chicken bouillon granules over the water, and stir to dissolve a little. Place the lid on the cooker, and bring up to full pressure. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- While the turkey is cooking, preheat your oven's broiler. After the time is up on the turkey, remove from the heat. Run cold water over the top of the cooker to help release the pressure, and open the lid. Place the turkey legs on a broiling pan or roasting pan.
- Broil the turkey legs for 10 to 15 minutes, until the skin is brown and crispy. Brush the legs with barbeque sauce towards the end of cooking. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
- Use a good quality BBQ sauce: The BBQ sauce is what gives the turkey drumsticks their flavor, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Marinate the turkey drumsticks: Marinating the turkey drumsticks helps to tenderize them and add flavor. You can marinate the drumsticks for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight. The longer you marinate them, the more flavor they will have.
- Cook the turkey drumsticks over indirect heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. You can cook the drumsticks on a grill, in a smoker, or in the oven. If you are cooking them on a grill, use a two-zone fire. Place the drumsticks on the side of the grill that is not directly over the coals.
- Baste the turkey drumsticks frequently: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can baste the drumsticks with the BBQ sauce, melted butter, or a mixture of both.
- Cook the turkey drumsticks until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the drumsticks should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
Conclusion:
Baked BBQ turkey drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner, a backyard barbecue, or a holiday feast. With a little planning and preparation, you can make baked BBQ turkey drumsticks that will impress your family and friends.
