Try something different this Thanksgiving, and make grilled turkey legs. These smoky, tender turkey drumsticks cook in a fraction of the time needed for a whole turkey.

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 turkey drumsticks (1-1/2 pounds each)
  • 3 cups soaked apple wood chips

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Brush drumsticks with butter mixture.
  2. Add wood chips to grill according to manufacturer's directions. Place turkey on greased grill rack. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat, 40-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 175°, turning drumsticks occasionally.
