First things first, you'll want to prep those turkey legs by seasoning them with your favorite herbs and spices. Don't be shy; get creative and add some magic to that meat! Then, heat up about 2-3 inches of oil in a deep frying pan to around 375°F - that's hot, folks, so be careful not to burn yourself.
Now we're talking turkey (legs, that is)! The general rule of thumb is to fry those legs for about 8-10 minutes per pound, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. But here's the thing: size matters, and bigger legs will take longer to cook, so keep an eye on that temperature and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
For smaller turkey legs, around 2-3 pounds, you're looking at about 20-25 minutes of frying time. For larger legs, around 4-5 pounds, it's more like 35-40 minutes. And don't even get me started on the monster legs - you know, the ones that are so big, they need their own zip code! Those behemoths can take up to an hour or more to cook through.
