½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Pour the broth into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the turkey legs.
1 cup chicken broth
Cook on High for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of at least 180 degrees F.
Remove the turkey legs from the slow cooker.
For crispy skin, you can use either the air fryer (3-4 minutes on 400 degrees) or broil in the oven for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare dirty rice
2 cups dirty rice
Split the meat lengthwise with a sharp knife to create a surface for the topping.
Stuff the turkey legs with dirty rice and garnish.
Small shrimp, canned
Sliced green onions
You can also bake or air fry the turkey legs if you don’t want to use a slow cooker.
