BARBECUED TURKEY LEGS



Barbecued Turkey Legs image

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h40m

Yield 8 turkey legs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt
8 turkey drumsticks (about 16 pounds total)
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates
1 1/2 cups store-bought barbecue sauce

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 smoked turkey legs
4 cups hot water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 cups barbeque sauce

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.

  • 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:

  • Choosing the right turkey drumsticks is crucial for this recipe. Look for drumsticks that are fresh, plump, and have a good amount of meat on them.
  • To ensure crispy skin, pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help remove excess moisture, allowing the skin to crisp up in the oven.
  • The BBQ sauce used in this recipe is a key component, so choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. You can use store-bought or homemade sauce, depending on your preference.

  • Serve the turkey drumsticks immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and coleslaw.
