Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound fresh peaches, peeled, seeded and diced
1 small sweet yellow onion
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon chile powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
0 kosher salt and pepper, to taste
4 turkey legs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium sized sauce pan add olive oil and set over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot add the peaches, onion and jalapeño peppers. Sauté till the onions and peaches are soft. Remove from the heat.

    Step 2

    In a blender add the peach mixture as well as the remaining ingredients minus the turkey legs. Blend until smooth.

    Step 3

    Add back to the sauce pan and cook down until thickened and warmed throughout.

    Step 4

    Heat your grill to medium heat.

    Step 5

    Season your turkey legs with salt and pepper and add to the grill. Cook for about 45 minutes and then baste with the peach bbq sauce. Continue cooking and basting until the turkey legs reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees. This should take about 14-20 more minutes.
