I an from the Monroe area but living in NOLA for years now. Anyway, I have been craving a Turkey Leg like at the fair. Any places that sell these locally? Thanks

Groceries sell them. Cured and smoked. Take it home and cook it at 250 for 2-3 hours.

Not Turkey Legs but Meril has Turkey Necks that look delicious.

Turkey Necks


I've never had a turkey neck. I am intrigued by them though. Anyone have a good recipe?

Kwik and Karry in Westwego has Turkey wings and necks. I don't know of they have legs though.

Groceries get them frozen (usually) in bulk cases, already cured and smoked. That cured taste is what sets them apart at fairs from your Thanksgiving day turkey taste.
They thaw them and place them in tray packs like this picture. Or, the cases have the legs already packaged and labeled in tray packs so the grocer just places them on the shelf.

All you have to do is heat them, I prefer low and slow. Add a little water to the pan to help them steam a bit and they'll be moist and tender. They are the same exact turkey legs Disney and fairs use.

Next time you're smoking a brisket or a pork butt, throw a couple on the pit for 2 hours or so.

Smoke a bunch of turkey necks on the pit to add to your chicken and sausage gumbo. I keep a couple of gallon ziplocks in the freezer for this. Adds a subtle smokey flavor to your gumbo.
