Recipe Introduction
I have not had the Turkey Legs at Disney so I don't know if these
compare but I think they are good. Following Alton Brown's recipe
for Turkey Brine I brine for 24 hours. I then wash the brine off and
heat a smoker to 220 degrees with
real charcoal chunks. Before I put on the legs I throw in a handful
or so of soaked hickory chips. I then smoke the legs until done. If
I remember right, it's about 4 hours on my smoker with nice sized
legs. I have injected with a brine in the past but I find it can get
a little too salty for more tastes that way. The turkey comes out
with a nice "hammy" texture.
