Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Turkey Legs with Spicy Citrus Marinade.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a high temperature, ensuring to lightly oil the grate to keep your food from sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious pot, mix together a lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage, sugar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sliced onion.
Step 3
Bring this vibrant concoction to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Once boiling, gently introduce the turkey legs into the pot, allowing them to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they reach a juicy internal temperature of 180°F (80°C).
Step 5
After cooking, carefully remove the onion slices and place them on the prepared grill.
Step 6
Next, nestle the turkey legs atop the grilled onions, drizzling them with honey and generously sprinkling steak seasoning for that extra flavor kick.
Step 7
Grill the turkey legs for approximately 20 minutes, turning them occasionally to achieve a beautifully crispy, golden-brown crust.
Step 8
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma and the delicious results of your grilling adventure!.
