Would you eat a Turkey Leg??

[Kerr0173]

The travel channel makes those Turkey Legs look SOO good. Are they really that good, and where is the best place to get one?:mickey:

[wonderalice23]

Yes!!! But I usually need to split it with someone....I recommend the Magic Kingdom ones.:thumbsup:

[SAHDad]

I usually get one when wandering through the American Adventure area of Epcot. They're not as big as it seems though - one is an adequate snack for me, but it would take a couple to make a meal.

They're darned tasty though.

[AlyceMarie03]

Ohhhh Yessss!!:D
I Love those Turkey Legs! Fiance & I usually share one together or I'll eat one all by myself! They are just so yum!:mickey:

[mymickeymouse]

oh my yes!!!! try Toluca Legs at MGM<..... sorry Disney Studios!!!!!!:party::cloud9:

[Natazu]

The turkey legs aren't my thing. They do sell an awful lot of them though.

[VolMickey]

Mmm. That's the plan! :thumbsup:

[#1donaldfan]

YES !!! What a great snack......we always get one at MGM, just across the street from TOT.....they're a little greasy, but that's what makes 'em so good......normally several of us munch on one.....ya gotta try one !!!!!!:mickey:

[disneymom15]

I've had one, it was good but I wouldn't buy another one. They're to messy and hard to eat.

[Young@Heart]

No way!!! But DH and DS's love them. :mickey:

[scoot241]

Turkey legs are real good. I usually get them in Frontierland.

[Ropachs]

Yes, the Travel Channel makes them look SO good. I just don't think I could bring myself to gnaw on one esp. wandering around. Perhaps if I could have it on a plate with a fork and knife and a side of mashed potatoes...:eat:

[RPHX2NC]

They are so good and for me a meal not a snack. Yum, I had my first one when I was 15yo in the MK 20 years ago! Please don't ask me to share, get your own!

[Kairi_7378]

My husband loves these. He wasn't allowed to get them when he was visiting WDW with his parents as a child and young adult so when we went on our first trip together he HAD to have one! I will take a bite or two and while they are good muching on all that meat in one sitting isn't my thing.

[mickeys_princess_mom]

Same here. Was so excited to get one and then tried it.....Ugh!!! Couldn't get past the "greasy"....

[RPHX2NC]

Too funny that the southerns seem to love them, don't ya'll eat fried chicken? Fried turkey is a Christmas tradition and delicious! (Not greasy but moist) I think the turkey legs are smoked not fired but still good, I guess maybe greasy because it is dark meat? I don't care is someone see me eating one, "they don't know me no way.":)

[brewcrew26]

I had my first one (shared with DH) and I loved it. It was greasy, but if you grab a lot of napkins, I got over that. It was still tasty and the skin was amazing!

[Soul_Power]

Yum! A trip to Disney is not complete without a turkey leg! It definitely lives up to the hype!

[elmjimmlm]

I don't care for them but my DD who is tiny (7 yrs. old and 40 lbs.) will devour them...She will eat every part of it right down to the bone...I told her that she eats so much of it she is going to take the bone marrow out of it...:blush:

[big blue and hairy]

If you like smoked turkey, you'll like them. They're quite tasty!

:sulley:

[Georgesgirl1]

I love them, but DH is not a big fan. Definitely something you should try at least once though!

[Faver]

The turkey legs are delicious! and can be found in MK, Tommorow land; Epcot, American Pavilion; DS @ Toluca near ToT

[Mousemates]

Been there, done that....had the grease on my t-shirt. DW loves them, I feel :sick: after consumption. suum cuique (to each his own, if my Latin is still functioning:mickey:)

[SBETigg]

The taste is okay, not spectacular, but they are such a nuisance to eat that it was a one time thing for me. Very tendony.

[disneylovinmom]

The first time I had one, I did not really like it. It was just too hard to eat. Plus we were trying to walk around in the crowds and eat it. This past trip I smelled them and saw others eating them and decided to give it another try. It was very good and I sat someplace out of the way and took my time to enjoy it. I think that made all the difference. It was a little greasy and maybe just a little tough, but very tasty. I would definately eat another one.:thumbsup:

[JasonH]

To me, the turkey leg is a MUST! The salt water/seasoning injection really makes it that good. Usually I wind up getting one before Spectromagic will begin so I can eat while I watch it go by and then move off to the side where I can view the fireworks then and finish the leg off. And believe me, I consider the leg practically a meal in itself. Usually I get the leg from Frontierland, there's a stand somewhat across from Pecos Bill Cafe that sells em. :thumbsup:

[princessjojo]

Only if I were Fred Flintstone. They look great, and I love turkey, but like a previous poster, I prefer a plate and fork approach rather than caveman style. That said, I don't eat chicken legs without a fork either...

[disneydeb]

Love 'em!

A must do lunch every trip!

[kaliepooh]

I absolutely love the turkey legs and so does my family. We share the legs they are a great snack!:mickey:

[TheMartellFamily]

I love them and DH does not. I do not like the greasyness to it and the hands afterwards. When I get one I hope for a toothpick at the end to clean my teeth. I think I will get one this time and have the kids try it. They may just like it.

[#1disneyfan]

My DD and I like them to share, but we agree they are very hard to eat and messy.

Always worth trying at least once!

[starrmomof2]

We didn't try them on our last trip, but might the next. This is a must do at our State Fair each year. My DH and I share it as there are too many other things to share and eat at the fair. I'm always surprised at how little the turkey leg tastes like turkey. I guess due to the smoking, it always reminds me of ham.

[Ed]

Turkey? :turkey:

I always heard that they were Emu legs..... ;)


Not my cup of tea, thank you. I'll take my turkey neatly sliced, piled on a plate full of dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, etc., etc..... :tasty:

[Nurse Kim]

My kids and I had them at Epcot close to Test Track. They were delicious.

[mouseketeer mom]

My DD and I tried them for the first time this past trip..then we had them again! They were weird and good all at the same time if that makes sense!!!! Both times we got them in Frontierland and sat and watched the parade. They are really awkward to eat..I would really prefer a knife and fork too..We'll be getting them again in 3 weeks!

[LizLovesDiz]

They are very good,but they taste like ham to me!I can't eat a whole one myself!!! :mickey:

[bruin1344]

they are ok, too greasy and messy

[judoma]

We got these in MK last year. Me DH, DS 6, and DD 8 each got one as a CS meal. DELISH...
They are really big though. DH almost finished one, but me and the kids honestly could have shared one! We will be getting them again in September, but not 4! :mickey:

[RAIDER]

Yes!!! But I usually need to split it with someone....I recommend the Magic Kingdom ones.:thumbsup:

I totally agree :thumbsup:..Its a defaintly MUST DO once in your lifetime of WDW visits

[Jeff G]

:thumbsup:

Exactly what I was thinking. Ham! We still love 'em, but they don't taste like turkey.

[MickeyMousse]

Yep, again and again!! And we're looking forward to grabbing up a few on our next trip, too!! :mickey:

[Jasper]

I am seriously not a fan of turkey of any kind because it is usually dry. However, the turkey legs at WDW are normally an exception to the rule. I am not sure if they inject their turkey legs with some kind of fluid but they are generally more moist than turkey you get other places. However, there have still been occasions where I handed my leg to someone else in my party because I didn't care for how dry it was.

[mrsgaribaldi]

I don't like it because it's smoked:(

[KarenP]

I have never tried one. They are just not my thing.

[thatkindofday]

They are so good and for me a meal not a snack. Yum, I had my first one when I was 15yo in the MK 20 years ago! Please don't ask me to share, get your own!

Ditto, Except my first one was 10 years ago!! I always HAVE to get one in every park. They are so good and I love them so much, I actually crave them when I'm not at WDW.:mickey:

[Polynesian Dweller]

Nope, never will try one. There is just something about the look of those things being carried through the parks that makes them totally unappealing to me.

[Goes4FastPass]

Smoked turkey legs in a theme park is like dating a cheerleader. Its sounds like it's going to be yummy but the actual experience is a letdown. The first 3 minutes you're like "Boy oh boy!" then you're like, "OK what am I gonna do with the rest of this?"

I have a new tenant for which to live my life by. An exceptional comment! Thank you.

[Aurora's Spindle]

I love the turkey legs! They are every bit as good as they look, but I do need a LOT of napkins ... and I can never finish one all on my own! :thumbsup: I usually get 'em in Frontierland.

[BoricuaBell]

They're sooo smokin' good! My husband has to have one in Frontierland every time.:thumbsup:

[hubbyofadisneyholic]

Every year I say "this trip I am getting a turkey leg". And every time I get sidetracked and leave without getting one.
This October FOR SURE!!!:blush:

[homeschool mom]

No Way!!!! I don't like dark meat and I don't like smoked turkey! They don't look good to me a all.

[Daddy Mouse]

I love smoked Turkey legs. I usually smoke my own and inject them and rub them down with seasonings.
