turkey legs
Thanksgiving meat portions
Turkey legs are the drumsticks of a turkey, comprising the lower leg and thigh meat.
While available year-round, they're particularly associated with Renaissance fairs and theme parks, where they're sold as handheld food—oversized, roasted, and eaten caveman-style: He wandered the fairgrounds gnawing on a turkey leg.
The image has become shorthand for performative medieval revelry.
