Can I use Turkey legs instead of thighs?
If I used turkey legs instead of thighs (can't get thighs on my instacart stores), would this recipe have to be adjusted?

I think that will be fine - both legs and thighs are dark meat, so cooking method and flavour results should be similar, if not the same.
On how much to use - recipe calls for 2 thighs. Two legs may be about the same weight or more, so maybe use one very large leg or two small to medium ones. Add time and some ingredients if you use two of the larger legs.
FYI turkey thighs in store range from half to 1 and 3/4 lb each., while legs come in at one to 2 and 1/2 lb each.
Happy thanksgiving!
This'll be my first solo Thanksgiving meal. Thank you so much, Nancy. I wish you and yours a great holiday as well.
j had a few of those during Covid lockdown (with a few zoom visits from fiends and relatives) and they worked out surprisingly well.Be sure to get dressed up and set yourself a nice table…

Though you might call some of them fiends.
