Jamaican Jerk Turkey Legs with Habanero Pineapple Glaze

I don't even think they have fucking turkeys in Jamaica but after a few spliffs who really gives a shit? Not me. I came up with this jerk spice rub the other day, tested it out on some fish, and it came out really well so I decided to jerk my turkey legs and glaze them with my habanero pineapple hot sauce. Let's begin:
I doubled the jerk spice rub from the other day and added 4tsp sea salt. I patted the turkey legs down and let them sit overnight...in the fridge, stupid.

I didn't slow cook these because I didn't feel like waiting. I just put them on the upper rack of the grill over medium heat for about 45 minutes, basted them with the habanero pineapple hot sauce, and them moved them over direct heat for about 10 minutes per side. Overall I actually liked it on the fish a lot more. I probably will not do this on turkey again because my Freedom Turkey was far superior. But hey, here's to trying something new and realizing you have already perfected it. Eat it.

I was interested to see the verdict on turkey for this one...guess you never know until you try right? Still lovin' the sounds of that jerk rub...on the list for sure!

Yeah, I don't know why but it was way better on the shit eating tilapia. I think it is because I didn't char the turkey as much but whatever. I am not going to try again. The other turkey I made was off the hook so I will just stick with that.
