Ingredients
- 3 turkey legs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
- 80 ml red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
Method
- Wood chips or chunks, soaked for at least 30 minutes
- Put the turkey legs in a big resealable plastic bag
- Mix everything else together
- Reserve some marinade for basting and pour the rest into the bag, press the air out of the bag, and turn the bag a few times to coat
- Stash in the fridge and let the turkey legs marinate for several hours
- Get a charcoal or gas grill going; you’ll want a medium fire
- Pour the marinade off
- Add the wood chips or chunks to the grill
- Smoke the legs over indirect heat in a closed grill
- Baste every 15 minutes or so with the reserved marinade, using a clean utensil each time you baste
- Turn and then close the grill again
- They’ll take about an hour
Makes 3 servings, 1 leg per person
- Even if you used all the marinade you’d get only 3 grams of carbohydrate per serving, with a trace of fiber grams of protein
