ingredients

8 turkey legs, rinsed and patted dry
1/4 cup Creole seasoning, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
1/2 cup hot red pepper sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
peanut oil, for deep frying
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Ranch Dressing

1/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped dill leaves

directions

In a large shallow dish, place the turkey legs and season with the Creole seasoning.

In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce, Worcestershire, and lemon juice and whisk to combine. Pour mixture over the legs, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat the oil in the deep fryer to 365 degrees F.

In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder and stir to combine. Roll the turkey legs in the mixture to lightly coat, shaking to remove any excess.

Carefully add the legs to the deep fryer, in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until skin is golden brown and meat is completely cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Season with Creole seasoning, to taste, and serve hot.

For Ranch Dressing: Whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, and buttermilk together. Stir in the mustard, parsley, chives, dill and garlic. Season with salt and a generous grinding of pepper.

Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
