Step 1
Start by giving your slow cooker a quick spray with some nonstick cooking spray, then pop the turkey legs inside. In a separate bowl, stir together the brown sugar, yellow mustard, smoke flavoring, ketchup, cider vinegar, hot pepper sauce, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until the sugar dissolves and everything’s well combined. Pour this sauce over the turkey legs. Cover the slow cooker and set it to Low, letting it cook away for 8 to 10 hours. When it’s done, take the turkey legs out and shred the meat, making sure to get rid of any bones or tendons. Finally, toss the shredded turkey back into the sauce so it’s nice and flavorful before serving.

How to serve
