Ingredients

• 4 turkey drumsticks (1-1/2 pounds each)
• 2/3 cup Homer Hot Sauce
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1 table spoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

3. Coat the Turkey Legs: Brush the turkey legs with the Homer Hot Sauce mixture, making sure every inch is covered.
4. Cook the Turkey Legs: Grill, roast, or air-fry them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Serve: These spicy turkey legs are perfect as-is, but you can pair them with a cooling dip if desired.

Cooking Tips

1. Marinate for Intensity: For even deeper flavor, marinate the turkey legs in the Homer Hot Sauce mixture for a few hours or overnight.
2. Grill for Smoky Flavor: Grilling adds a smoky element to the turkey legs, which pairs beautifully with the tangy heat of Homer Hot Sauce.
3. Control the Heat: Adjust the amount of Homer Hot Sauce based on your spice preference. Start with a few tablespoons and add more as desired.
