Introduction
This is supposed to be the authentic recipe used by turkey leg vendors at fairs and festivals. Boiling the turkey legs first may seem like cheating but, if you have to make thousands of them you won't want them sitting on your grill for 20 to 30 minutes before you can sell them selling.This is supposed to be the authentic recipe used by turkey leg vendors at fairs and festivals.

4 turkey legs
1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated soda
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 large sweet onion, sliced

Combine soda, sugar, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, black pepper and onion slices in a large pot. Bring to a low boil and add turkey legs. Boil over a medium heat for about 30 minutes.
Combine the Worcestershire sauce and the oil. Coat your fingers with the mixture and rub realy well into the turkey legs, getting as much as you can under the skin. Sprinkly the dry rub over the skin, liberally rubbing into the turkey legs and under the skin. Place the legs in plastic bags, refrigerate and then take to picnic.
Preheat grill. Place onion slices on the heated grill and put the turkey legs on top of the onion slices. Grill over a medium heat for about 15 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning. Turn as needed. The skin should be crispy brown when the turkey legs are done.

I didn't boil it-- I marinated it and seasoned it, then grilled it until it was browned then wrapped it up in foil and let it cook on the grill low for an hour. Yummy! FYI 1 Turkey drumstick is not 56.7 calories. One medium drumstick is 424.3 calories. Here is the full nutritional information h - 6/7/12
