Turkey Legs...Any Good?

[twinkles]

This is the one thing I have never tried...each visit I say I am going to try but never do. What do you all think. Any good? Would love to hear your opions. Thanks!

We got them last time we were there. It wasn't my bag but my DS & DW ate them like they were the last food on earth. Everyone has different tastes.

I say give it a shot, after all your on vacation!

I was very excited to try them one year as I had heard so many people raving about how good they were.

It wasn't my thing. If a turkey leg is the first part of the turkey that you would grab, then you will love them as they are pretty tasty! I'm more of a breast meat person myself, and the leg was just too big, meaty, and caveman for me.

Not to meantion, DH got a picture of me with it and the look on my face as I realized he was taking a photograph of me with this giant turkey leg in my hand is just... scary!

If you're into turkey legs then you'll probably love em. As for me, I've tried it and now I know.

My kids LOVE them!! I think they taste a bit like smoked ham. They make a real greasy mess though so get lots of napkins. We don't walk around eating them, ususally get one and sit down and share. A couple bites is enough for me!

I always wanted to try one of the turkey legs as well so when I was there last December my mom and I had one for our dinner since we were not that hungry. To us they had a distinct "ham" flavor. At first it was good but the more we ate it the flavor got to be a bit too much and too rich for our tastes. In fact, we now joke about the "ham and beans" on a stick and make an "eeeewww" face as if we are getting sick. I am glad that we tried one but am not in a rush to get another. In fact, I am pretty sure that did it for us on the legs.

The first few bites were good. Then it just seemed like greasy ham. Definately try it though as everyone has different tastes.

My DH and I did not care for them when we tried it. Very little flavor and stringy.

 

[metsfan11]

IMO, I really love them! They taste great, and its a tradition whenever we go to the MK!

Turkey Legs are my husbands have to have at WDW. I don't like them at all.

 

[liamsaunt]

But, if you have never had one, you may wish to try it for yourself. You can certainly have mine!

 

[jobie61]

You have to try at least one. They do not tatse like Turkey, more like ham.

My hubby and I tried them two years ago. We split one and thought they tasted like fatty ham. We ended up throwing it out. Just not for us. But I agree with pple who posted above, you need to try things for yourself. What may not be my cup of tea is someone elses. Sounds stupid but now I want one even though I don't like them. Hey it's Friday I'm a bit nutty!

 

[disneyluv4]

We love them!! In fact, one week from today, my dd wants one when we go to the MK. It will probably be our first meal there!

 

[Mickey1122]

Wev'e never tried them because they don't look too appealing. They're big enough for two, and they're stringy. We don't really want to try them.

 

[satman1962]

Always have them and love them, very messy though...

 

[EdDome]

Look great, smell great, taste ... so so.

 

[donaldude]

love'em, But those poor legless turkeys.

 

[Randy K]

Of Course their Good. It wouldn't be a trip to WDW without one.

There are two MUST HAVES when we go to Disney - caramel popcorn and turkey legs.

I agree, they taste just like smoked ham and I hate smoked ham. Yuck!
