Recently at Disney, I saw smoked turkey legs for $9, I bought 4 for $5 at home, seasoned and now on smoker. Let's see how good I am. Also doing first fatty.
Here is an old Recipe from Viper. He says they are real close to the Disney Legs...JJ
SMOKED TURKEY LEGS close to Disney Style
The brine:
2 cups tender quick salt
1 cups brown sugar
2 tbsp. onion powder
2 tbsp. garlic powder
4 bay leaves
2 gallons water
6 turkey legs [totally submerged in brine]*
Sweet paprika
Mix all brine ingredients together in a non reactive container.
Put the turkey legs in the brine and place the container in the
refrigerator. Let stand for at least 48 hours.*
Remove legs from the brine and wash with cold water to remove excess.
Then soak in cold water 1 hour.
Rub the legs with a small amount of sweet paprika. Put legs in
smoker and set temperature for 225 degrees F. Smoke for at least
five hours.Untill Internal temp is 165-170 degrees.
*Large turkey legs will require 3 full days to be fully brined
and flavored. Smoking time at 225 degrees F will be about
6 1/2 hours.
