The Cookout Ep. 5: Cajun Smoked Turkey Legs + Alabama White Sauce
Louisiana heat meets Alabama tang. We're talkin' bold seasoning, sweet smoke, and that cool, creamy white sauce drip. Let's go.
Here's the play:
• Rub 'em down with olive oil
• Season heavy with Cajun + Creole
• Smoke indirect at 275°F over maple, cherry, and oak
• Pull at 180-185°F for fall-off-the-bone magic
• Serve hot with chilled Alabama white sauce
Alabama White Sauce (mix & chill 1 hr):
• 1 cup mayo
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp horseradish
1 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp cayenne (optional)
1 tsp sugar (optional)
