Reviews
Excellent recipe for turkey lovers, and something really different than roasted turkey. I’ve been cooking turkey thighs this way for a few years now, always a big hit with my family.
This was delicious. I will definitely make it again tweeting it here and there. I had forgotten to take the skin off before putting in the slow cooker because the legs were still partially frozen but it wasn’t greasy. The sauce was a little too thin but very good.
8/18/15 My rating is based on the taste of the sauce alone!! I may never buy BBQ sauce again the taste of it is so delicious. I have the turkey and sauce in the slow cooker now and the time can’t pass fast enough for mom and I to have dinner. I used three turkey legs since that is how many came in the pack. I doubled the sauce to make sure there would be enough for the additional turkey leg. Thank you for sharing this recipe. JP 8/19/15 My my this was absolutely delicious. Rave reviews from family and coworkers. I took some for lunch to share — they truly loved this BBQ Turkey. So much so they are requesting it again. They suggest I make it every couple of months. We have a holiday party every year in December if it is an afternoon party I am to make this dish. I will definitely use this BBQ sauce on ribs and chicken. Yummy! JP
incredibly easy. be prepared to have some tendons and such if you use legs. i used 4 legs and 2 thighs and doubled the sauce. very tasty.
Easy, easy, easy!
The sauce is really good. It was very thick, but cooked down with the turkey. I really enjoy the smokiness/heat of the sauce. It’s not overly sweet like some BBQ sauces. I would make this again!
Good recipe to start, although I found the first batch to be a little bland and too mustardy…so, for the second batch, I added a few things to make it a great one! I used a variety of mustard; dijon, spicy brown and yellow for a total of just under the 1/4 cup called for. I added a little extra ketchup along with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, about a Tablespoon of Worchestershire sauce, about a Tablesppon of Crytstal hot sauce in addition to the Jalapeno pepper sauce, a large clove of fresh chopped garlic and about a quarter of a finely chopped yellow onion. The result was a delicious blend of a little sweetness with just enough spice to make it interesting! I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey, white and dark meat, and cooked on low in the slow cooker for about 3 hours before serving. A big hit with the guys helping to remodel my basement the weekend after Thanksgiving. Even my husband, who is not a big fan of turkey, loved it! Will definitely hold on to this one for future turkey leftovers!
I use breasts instead of legs, add a can of black beans and a package of frozen corn, and serve in tortillas. Delicious!
I was looking for a great recipe to use up a ton of turkey legs we had in the freezer and I’m so glad I found this one! So easy to make and we loved this sauce. It’s definitely got a bit of tang to it, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Really great served with a side of coleslaw.
This recipe inspired me. I’d never thought about bbq’d turkey legs. The legs are so economical and tasty. I made the sauce as written but ended up tweaking it for personal taste. Thanks for such a simple and delicious idea.
