Festival And Theme Park Turkey Legs Recipes

MY THEME PARK STYLE TURKEY LEGS

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.

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.

COUNTY FAIR TURKEY LEGS WITH SWEET AND SPICY BBQ SAUCE

Turkey legs are a traditional snack at county fairs. They are also known as "caveman pops" because they are held by the bone and eaten like huge lollipops. Ree likes hers with a sweet and spicy BBQ sauce which, although not traditional, makes a delicious accompaniment to this meaty snack, and a great addition if you are serving these at a party.

Steps:

For the turkey legs: Set the turkey legs on a baking sheet and wrap the bone end with foil. Mix the paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, thyme, garlic powder and pepper together in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the turkey legs liberally. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Roast the turkey legs until golden brown with an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting. Brush the legs with the honey and return to the oven to broil until the skin is caramelized, 1 to 2 more minutes.
For the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce: Meanwhile, mix the BBQ sauce, honey, hot sauce and soy sauce together in a bowl. Serve alongside the turkey legs.

Ingredients

4 turkey legs
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup bottled BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce or to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce

FESTIVAL AND THEME PARK TURKEY LEGS

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".

RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL TURKEY LEGS

The title says it all. You can use any chicken seasoning, like McCormick Montreal Chicken Spice Grill Mates. I use a chicken barbecue spice rub that is local here. You can also replace the barbecue sauce with a grilling sauce like McCormick Mesquite Grilling Sauce Grill Mates. I just happen to prefer to use what I already have around. One more thing, it is probably best to finish the legs off in a smoker, but of course must of us only have a grill. You can always add wood chips to the grill and get the same effect. Either will do fine!
