FAQs about turkey legs
Fresh turkey legs are usually packaged ready to cook, but some include the thigh while others only the drumstick. Depending on your meal plan, you can select accordingly. The skin should be mostly cream-colored with hints of yellow that indicate fat beneath the skin. The fat renders during the cooking process, adding flavor and tenderness. You can remove the skin and fat for a low-fat, low-calorie diet. Plan on one turkey leg with the thigh to feed two to three people.
The color of turkey after cooking doesn't always indicate if it's safe or not. You should always use an internal thermometer to check that the temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. The hemoglobin in turkey can leave a pink tint around the meat's edges, which can still be safe to eat. Smoked turkey almost always has a pinkish color.
A turkey leg should be stored in the coldest part of your refrigerator, around 33 degrees Fahrenheit. It will last several days without a problem. For more extended storage, you can put your turkey legs in vacuum-sealed packaging and keep them in your freezer. Turkey legs can last six to eight weeks in your freezer.
