This Is the recipe my daughter Briana uses to cook her smoked turkey legs. Personally I had never made them on the grill until she shared this recipe with me. I must say they sure are very tasty. I think next time I will quarter some potatoes & add to the vegetables, because the broth really does add lots of flavor to the vegetables. Some of the Food Fests sell these tasty turkey legs, & I don't know how they make theirs but these certainly are flavorful. JUST REMEMER TO LOOK OUT FOR THE SML BONES. I like to pull all the meat away from the bone & remove ALL of the bones first before eating.
