carnival turkey legs!

lets face it, the only reason i enjoy going to any type of carnival, fair theme park or festival is not for the rides. NOPE its for the food! funnel cakes, candied pecans, and most of all those huge turkey legs! i swear they are one of the best things since sliced bread. back in the days (when i was a kid) they used to sell for $5 a pop, now your lucky if you can find one for $7. oh how i miss the simpler days (although i think i'd go crazy without my iphone, fb & real housewives of beverly hills) okay don't tell anyone about that last part. annnddd i'm getting off topic. so back to the legs. the legs, the legs, the legs! well ladies and gents i have some news for you. i cook turkey all the time. not just for thanksgiving. why you ask? well its very cheap and two pieces of a thigh or breast can feed a family of 4-6 and it will only cost you about 6 bucks! guess how much these turkey legs were? $4.97 at publix for two! so i bought 4 and this is what i did.

oh and by the way because its done in the slow cooker your house is going to smell fantablous ALL day. it takes nothing but 5 minutes to pull together, and you get to enjoy your saturday, and of course these jumbo legs!
*****some people are scared of putting things in the crock pot dry (with no liquid) yet alone covered in foil so here is the before pic. i will post the finished legs tonight when they are done.




4 turkey legs
3 teaspoons of poultry seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
aluminium foil (i use heavy duty)


  1. Wash the turkey legs, and shake off excess moisture. Sprinkle each turkey leg with about 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. Wrap the leg tightly in aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining legs.
  2. Place the wrapped turkey legs into a slow cooker with no liquids or other ingredients. Set the cooker to Low, and cook until the meat is very tender, 7 to 8 hours.
