Teriyaki Grilled Turkey Legs with Apricot Glaze, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhance the Marinade:

Add grated fresh ginger and minced garlic to the marinade for extra flavor.
Use a combination of dark and light soy sauce for a richer depth of flavor.
Consider adding a tablespoon of brown sugar to the marinade to create a slightly sweeter taste.

Elevate the Glaze:

Add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the glaze for a subtle sweetness and deeper color.
Use fresh apricot purée instead of apricot jam for a more intense fruit flavor.
Consider adding a splash of rice vinegar to the glaze for a hint of acidity.

Grilled Perfection:

Grill the turkey legs over indirect heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking throughout.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (internal temperature of 165°F).
Baste the turkey legs frequently with the glaze during the last 15-20 minutes of grilling to ensure a caramelized and flavorful exterior.

Additional Touches:

Serve the turkey legs with a side of grilled pineapple or mango for a tropical twist.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
Consider adding a spicy mayo or sriracha sauce to the side for an extra kick.

Cooking Techniques:

If you don’t have a grill, you can roast the turkey legs in the oven at 375°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
To make the glaze ahead of time, simmer all the ingredients in a small saucepan until thickened, then refrigerate until ready to use.
