I haven't tried this myself, but did copy this down a couple weeks ago . . . .

Great Pretender Smoked Turkey Legs

1 c tender quick salt
½ c brown sugar
5 tsp liquid smoke
1 gal water (or amount to cover pieces)
1 turkey, chicken or turkey legs

Add all together and keep in covered container in refrigerator. Let stand for 24 hours. When ready to roast, rinse off turkey and roast 2 hours at 350 degrees (whole bird) and then lower oven to 300 degrees until turkey is done. Turkey legs, pork chops, steaks and roasts can also be used this way.
Adjust roast times for different cuts.

NOTE: These would also be delicious made in a smoker or slowly grilled over indirect heat.

Does anyone know what Tender quick is??? and where it can be purchased?

I have seen this recipe elsewhere and i think it may come as close as I need it to be....

Thanks!

Tender Quick is a Morton salt product. You can often find it near canning/preserving supplies or can order it from websites.
