A classic Disneyland snack will replace a classic roasted turkey as the centerpiece of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s Thanksgiving feast.
During an interview with Travel and Leisure, Legend and Teigen disclosed that they will order 20 turkey legs from Disneyland to serve during Thanksgiving dinner this year.
“Anyone that’s had those before knows that they taste like ham. They’re crazy to me. Turkey does not get better than that.” Teigen told Travel & Leisure.
Teigen also shared that she, her husband, and their four kids often enjoy the snack during their Disneyland trips.
“We’ll just lean up against the dumpster and pick at turkey legs when we’re at Disneyland. That’s one of my favorite moments always, so that’s my cheat for turkey this year.” Teigen told the publication.
Turkey legs are one of the most popular snacks at “The Happiest Place on Earth,” joining the ranks of Mickey-shaped pretzels and ice cream bars, popcorn, and churros. But before its Disney parks debut, the snack was known as a staple at Renaissance fairs.
That was until 1989, when a man named Dave Jarrett pitched the idea of selling the snack in Frontierland at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, according to Mickey Visit.
The snack was eventually sold at other Disney parks as well.
Serving Disneyland turkey legs instead of a turkey isn’t Teigen’s only Thanksgiving “cheat.” She also uses Popeyes or KFC gravy instead of making her own when she needs a good workaround.
“I’ve learned through so many years of being stressed out about Thanksgiving or the holidays that if you love the flavor of something, and you really can’t do it better than the one you love or the one you grew up on, just bring it in,” Teigen told Travel & Leisure. “The holidays are so much about family and not running around the kitchen, so I like to keep things as fun and simple as possible.”
