Nothing says decadent street food like Albert’s Smoked Turkey Legs. The size, the smell, the sheen, this is the kind of meat kings and queens of old would eat. Imagine a large wooden table, each seat filled with royalty, knights, or visiting dignitaries. They’re laughing, shouting, slamming mugs on the table, and in the center of it all is a plate piled high with smoked turkey legs. Food like this can make you feel royal. For one dinner, you can be the king or queen of the house.
It used to seem the only place to get this delicacy was at a theme park or carnival, but luckily we now sell them here at Wholey. We know you don’t want to wait around for a summer street fair to enjoy Albert’s Smoked Turkey Legs. So don’t. At Wholey, we sell 5-pound packages of pre-smoked turkey legs so you can feel like a king or queen all year. Buy a few packages to share with friends, or pile a plate high and eat them all yourself. We won’t judge.
Let’s make it even better. Did you know Albert’s Smoked Turkey Legs are fully cooked? While we don’t recommend it, that means you could eat them straight out of the fridge. Again, we’re not judging. If you do choose to heat them up (they’re better that way), these turkey legs take very little cooking time and preparation, making them a great weeknight meal. Just preheat the oven to 325 degrees, sprinkle them with a little water or broth, and seal them in a foil package. Bake for about 30 minutes, and you’re done. It’s that easy. And why not make an extra to throw in your lunchbox for the next day? You deserve to feel like royalty after a long morning at work.

Bulk shopping clubs like Costco and Sam’s Club often stock fresh cases of huge turkey drumsticks in their poultry departments. This offers a convenient way to buy high quality turkey legs in quantity.

Your regular mainstream supermarket may carry jumbo turkey legs in the fresh meat case, generally seasonal around the winter holidays. These tend to be smaller than what you’ll find at specialty suppliers.
Grocery stores like HEB, Kroger, Publix, Safeway, and Albertsons are worth checking out. Call ahead to ask if they offer whole turkey legs for sale and when shipments arrive.
