Marinade

  • 1/2 Cup Worcestershire
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Spice Rub

  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Combine the rub ingredients and set aside
  • Gently loosen the skin on the turkey legs
  • Combine the worcestershire sauce and vegetable oil, gently rub this all over the turkey legs, working it in under the skin, too.
  • Wash Your hands
  • Sprinkle the rub all over the turkey legs and rub it in all over and under the skin
  • Heat your smoker to 200°F
  • Set the turkey legs aside for 30 minutes (if longer than 30 minutes, refrigerate and then set out for 30 minutes)

Notes

We omitted the spice rub on the turkey legs for the kids, and they were still full of flavor, delicious, juicy, and flat out awesome
