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!!

Steps

Pat turkey legs dry with a paper towel.

You can also remove the skin to cut back on the cholesterol and fat.
