I think the ones at the fair are just barbecued fresh turkey legs, and
the ones you must be buying at the store are cured (like a ham) and smoked.

You want to get raw fresh (or frozen) turkey legs and cook them in a hot
smoker, and start brushing with barbecue sauce once they look done but
you know they are still raw in the middle :-/
