Roasted Smoky Turkey Legs

1. 1

   Mix the salt, brown sugar, liquid smoke and water together until all is dissolved and pour the briny mixture over the turkey legs.

2. 2

   Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 24-hours to 72-hours.

3. 3

   Rinse the brine off the turkey, pat dry with paper towels and roast at 350u00b0F for about 45 minutes.

4. 4

   By this time, the turkey will almost be done, but the skin will still have a pale color, so I crank the oven up to 500u00b0F and roast the legs/wings until they are a rich mahogany color, then I flip them over and roast the other side until it is also deep brown.
