I created this brine recipe especially for turkey legs. The red pepper flakes, Cajun seasoning, and Tabasco sauce really give it a special zing and take the turkey legs you’re used to eating to the next level of flavor. Simmering allows the oils from the red pepper flakes to leach into the brine. Feel free to simmer longer if you want a stronger flavor.
