There is a smoky aroma and flavor that sinks down into the bone you only get from hours in the smoker.
I was impressed by how tender and moist the turkey was. The sauce used to smother the turkey with was like the best gravy I’ve eaten. Hope Coop smokes more turkey legs in the future as this dish is my favorite smoked turkey leg. Rice was moist and had a light flavor which combined with the smothering sauce was delicious.
I don’t see Shasta soda much. When I was a kid you could find it in most supermarkets. I like the sweet root beer flavor of Shasta Root Beer. Reminds me of Hires Root Beer which was my favorite root beer.
Coop has frequent specials so you never know what will be available unless you check his Facebook page. I’m glad I did as the smothered turkey leg is one of my favorite dishes here.
Service was friendly and speedy. I wrote about the beef short ribs and oxtails previously: https://www.hungryones.com/2024/06/coops-bbq/
