How long to boil turkey legs?
The cooking time for turkey legs will vary depending on the size of the legs and whether they are bone-in or boneless. As a general guide, here are the suggested boiling times:
Bone-in turkey legs:
* Small (under 2 pounds): 35-40 minutes
* Medium (2-3 pounds): 45-50 minutes
* Large (over 3 pounds): 60-70 minutes
Boneless turkey legs:
* Small (under 1 pound): 25-30 minutes
* Medium (1-2 pounds): 30-35 minutes
* Large (over 2 pounds): 40-45 minutes
To ensure the turkey legs are fully cooked, you can insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Boiling turkey legs in salted water can help to enhance the flavor of the meat. You can also add additional ingredients to the water, such as onion, garlic, celery, or herbs, to create a flavorful broth.
