Depending on how large they are and how many, it might take closer to 3 hours. Someone said something about cutting the tendons before cooking them.

Pod, there's a post in archives about cutting the skin completely around the base of the legs (turkemcise?) so, when cooked, the skin pulls back and you can pull out the tendons with needle-nose pliers. Also, be generous with the time. I've found 3-4 hours works, those suckers are thick and meaty.

KCAL56,

I love your sense of humor. Wish I'd come up with your surgical description. May have to try turkey legs just to quote you to my friends.
