  10. Lay the turkey legs on the grate over the drip pan.
  11. Cover the grill and position the lid's vent holes directly over the meat.

  14. Meanwhile, make the mop: Whisk together the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin, chili sauce, and scallions.

  16. Set aside about half the sauce for serving.
  17. After about 1 hour, mop the turkey drumsticks with some of the mop and flip.
