Disneyland Turkey Legs (aka Caveman Pops)

RatingDifficultyIntermediate

My family loves Disneyland. They go several times a year, and if we lived closer, they'd go more. I go once a year and enjoy myself immensely. But . . . I don't need or want more than that. What I do love about Disneyland, and if I lived closer might be worth the price of an annual passport, is their high quality turkey legs. Caveman Pops. I love a good meal on a stick, and this is the mountaintop of such meals. This is my attempt at reaching the Caveman Pop Summit. Enjoy!

Ingredients

 4 Turkey Legs - Medium Sized to Large. These are easy to find at Thanksgiving, but you may have to ask your butcher ahead of time other times of the year.
 ¼ cup Arkibu Rub , or other BBQ Rub
 ½ cup Honey
Yields4 Servings
Prep Time30 minsCook Time1 hr 30 minsTotal Time2 hrs

Directions

1

The night before you want to cook these, rub them with Arkibu BBQ Rub.

2

Fire up the Big Green Egg, or your favorite indirect heat smoker. I put it to 300 degrees. Prepare some apple or pecan wood chips by soaking them in water.

3

Add chips, lay turkey legs on the grill, and smoke until they are done. Time will depend on the size. 40 minutes to a little over an hour. Use your Thermapen. Take it off when the bottom thinner meat starts to separate from the bone, and when the meat is 180 degrees.

4

Place in a casserole pan or something and cover with foil until you close to being ready serve. Remember - for food to be safe, don't let it sit if it's under 140 degrees.

5

When you are ready to serve, coat each leg with a lot of honey, brushing it all over the meat.

6

Fire up a direct heat grill (I use my Weber Genesis Grill), spray some cooking spray on it, and sear the honey-coated goodness in, about five minutes per side.

Wrap each leg in foil, and serve when you are ready!
