A few simple steps and four different seasonings will give you a wide range of options to grill your own turkey legs today. These are so darned juicy, you'll always want to brine in the future.
Combine the water, sea salt and brown sugar. Stir until it is dissolved.
Add the turkey legs to the brine mixture. Weigh them down if needed and place them in the refrigerator. The key is to make sure that they are fully submerged to accept the brining mix.
After 4-8 hours, remove the turkey legs from the brine mixture and rinse them off thoroughly. Pat them dry and they are ready for seasoning
Seasoning
I wanted to try different seasoning mixes, so I called for taking ¼ cup of each mix. That was plenty for each leg.
Coat each leg with the seasoning of your choice. Make sure to apply liberally.
Grilling the Turkey Legs
Set the grill on indirect heat and adjust the temperature to 350 degrees. If you are using a gas grill, turn off the burners directly under the turkey. Add the turkey legs.
After 20 minutes, turn the turkey legs over and grill for another 20 minutes. Check them with a meat thermometer. They are ready to be removed when the thickest parts are over 165 degrees.
Let rest for 10 minutes and serve!
Notes
Optional: I did not do this, but you can brush a honey glaze on the turkey legs during the last few minutes of the grill. This will create a nice glaze and add some sweetness.
