Smoked BBQ Turkey Legs

Easy...Delicious...Cheap Economical.  

My daughter loved this so much - she asked me to make it again for dinner the following night.   

Don't be intimidated by smoking chips.  I buy mine from Walmart (foodies can still shop there) in the outdoor area where grills are sold.  I like these smoking chips because they are in small pieces and easy to work with.

This dish would be wonderful served up with Paula Deen's The Lady's Coleslaw recipe.  It's our favorite coleslaw  - not dripping in mayo, crisp and fresh.  I would use a mayo that's "safe" for our diets and substitute honey for the sugar.  

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
