Notes
- You should be able to find turkey legs in your local grocery store in the poultry section. They usually sell them in packs of 2 or 3. If you pick up a pack of lean turkey legs, adjust the cooking time.
- Different air fryers will require different cook times. Adjust your cook times accordingly.
- I don’t brine the turkey legs when making them in the Air Fryer.
- Lean turkey legs will need a lesser cooking time. Cut the cook times in half.
