Smoky Grilled Turkey Legs
Ingredients
  • 1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced
  • 4 turkey legs
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill to a high heat setting, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for searing.
2
Lightly brush the grill grates with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
3
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the lemon-lime flavored soda, granulated sugar, hot sauce, diced red pepper, ground black pepper, and chopped onion.
4
Add the turkey legs to the mixture, stirring gently until they are fully coated. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
5
Remove the onion slices from the pot and arrange them on the preheated grill.
6
Place the turkey legs over the onions, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
7
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the turkey legs, then sprinkle with steak seasoning to enhance flavor.
8
Cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until a crispy, golden-brown crust has formed on the turkey legs.
