Whenever I sell turkey legs I buy them already smoked for about a buck
apeice from a wholesaler---just reheat and sell--bet that is what those
folks at the fair do too!!

Google is your friend.

Most of the stuff you find at state fairs is pre-processed and sold so
all the vendor needs to do is thaw and reheat. The good stuff survives
the process pretty well.

For people who want to do things right, there are other options.

Grilled turkey legs - http://bbq.about.com/cs/poultry/a/aa032903a.htm
Barbecued turkey legs - http://bbq.about.com/od/turkeyrecipes/r/bl30329b.htm
Soul food turkey legs -
http://bbq.about.com/od/turkeyrecipes/r/bl30329a.htm
Festival turkey legs -
http://bbq.about.com/od/turkeyrecipes/r/bl30329c.htm (This supposed to
be like the ones sold at fairs)

Finally, gardenweb had a long thread about the topic at
http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load...4213659.html?4

Whether or not these are good recipes is, as always, open to debate.
However, they do provide a starting point. Sadly, the pre-boiled turkey
legs, barely browned on a grill and slathered with store bought barbecue
sauce is probably what is sold at most fairs.

Thanks Mike: I wanted receipes from this group not the WEB where you
have to sift through advertizements. I was looking for home made
suggestions so my searches have been contained to this group. But I
will give you links a run through when I can get a chance.
