Line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the cereal into a large bowl; set aside.
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the large marshmallows to the saucepan; stir. Continue stirring until the marshmallows have melted and are smooth.
Add the mini-marshmallows; stir until melted.
Remove from heat.
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal; stir to combine; set aside.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute or until completely smooth.
Dip one end of a pretzel rod into the white chocolate to coat about 1/2 inch up the pretzel. Place the pretzel rod on the prepared baking. Place 2 mini marshmallows to the end to form the bone. Repeat with remaining pretzels. Allow the white chocolate to set.
Dip the marshmallow end of the pretzel rod, again, into the white chocolate to coat about halfway up the pretzel rod. Place on the baking sheet to set. Repeat with the remaining pretzel rods.
Coat hands with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon about 3/4 cup Rice Krispie mixture into your hands. Form the cereal mixture into the shape of a turkey leg. Press a hole into the narrow end to fit the pretzel rod.
Insert the pretzel rod into the hole; press the cereal mixture gently to form it to the pretzel.
Place the turkey leg back on the baking sheet; repeat with the remaining pretzels until all the turkey legs are formed.
Allow to cool to room temperature.
Serve immediately or place in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
