Grilled BBQ Turkey Legs

Grilled BBQ Turkey Legs


  • Author: Emily Walker
  • Total Time: 1.5–2 hours
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 large turkey legs

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt & pepper to taste

1 cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for basting)


Instructions

Rub turkey legs with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Preheat grill to medium-low heat (300°F/150°C) with indirect heat if possible.

Grill legs for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally.

Baste with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes, brushing every 10 minutes.

Finish over direct heat for a crispy skin and caramelized finish.

Serve hot with napkins—and maybe a turkey leg holder if you’re fancy.
