Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey Leg

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the turkey leg with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place it in the smoker and smoke for about 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mac and Cheese

    While the turkey leg is smoking, cook the mac and cheese according to package instructions or your preferred recipe. Once done, set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the turkey leg is done smoking, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, place the turkey leg on a serving platter. Top it generously with mac and cheese, followed by BBQ sauce, bacon bits, and chopped green onions.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Mac Daddy!
