These do so well in the air fryer and my kids absolutely love eating them. They are perfectly seasoned with a store-bought BBQ rub, see below for my family’s favorite. Eating these reminds me of being at one of those medieval festivals, where you grab the turkey leg with your bare hands and just devour it. So, what would be a better meal for any child or even an adult? These would be awesome party food so at your next gathering air fry a bunch of these. They will sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Here are the step by step instructions for you to make it in your own home (in your own air fryer)
These are the turkey legs I used in this recipe. I found them in the meat section at my local grocery store. They really make an appearance in the fall.
Coat the turkey legs with the BBQ seasoning blend. Place the coated turkey legs into the air fryer oven or in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400 degrees for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the turkey legs and air fry for another 10 minutes Check the internal temperature of the turkey legs, which should be at 180 F. Add additional time as needed.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
