Enjoy a delightful twist on classic turkey legs with this savory grilled recipe, perfect for gatherings or a hearty meal.
Pat the turkey legs dry with a paper towel.
Removing excess moisture helps the marinade adhere better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue spice blend, distilled white vinegar, and water to create the marinade.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Place the turkey legs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, turning once halfway through.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drain half of the marinade and lightly season the turkey legs with additional barbecue spice blend.
Draining some marinade prevents the dish from becoming too watery.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the turkey legs for 40 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
Turning ensures even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Transfer the turkey legs to the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Grilling adds a smoky flavor and crispy texture.
Brush the barbecue sauce onto the turkey legs during the last 5 minutes of grilling, ensuring both sides are coated.
Applying the sauce at the end prevents burning.
Serve the turkey legs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Let the turkey legs rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.
