Hiya,

I am looking to buy some turkey legs to smoke for Christmas. Where could i get some? Maybe not as big as State Fair, but close?

TIA

Try a local meat market. If buying enough they may order for you. typically Mom and pop stores get meat delivered once a week

HEB sometimes has them. They're a little hard to find around the holiday season as all the processors are just processing for whole birds.

Every time I've seen them, they're so much more per pound than the whole bird you can practically get two turkeys for the same price as four legs.

If you never done these and want them to taste like fair turkey legs you will have to cure them

Yep, I'd much rather cure and smoke the legs and thighs and "porchetta" the breast for thin-sliced sandwiches for a fraction of the price.

OP, here's a basic cure brine I used recently.

Walmart near me had these on sale this whole past week.
