turkey leg

Renaissance fair fare

A turkey leg is the drumstick of a turkey—the lower portion of the leg including the bone, meat, and skin.

Turkey legs are especially associated with Renaissance fairs, theme parks, and carnivals, where they're sold roasted and eaten by hand: He walked around the fair gnawing on a massive turkey leg.
