turkey legs

pokergirl · June 2008

c'mon people, i know somebody has to have a good recipe on the smoked turkey legs, i'm soaking them in a brine right now. i was thinkin around 300deg. until i reach the 180 mark, should i cook them on indirect heat or direct? should i wrap in foil? any help would be great

i will use some apple chips or mesquite.

Don't use mesquite for smoke, it is way to bitter for poultry. -RP

thank you FL. i will try that..

I chopped up this bird and kept the parts seperate. Buttermilk for a couple hours, seasoning, indirect at 325 until done. Unless you really like mesquite, your in for trouble. Poultry soaks up the wood flavor quick.
Small amout of apple should work.

Richard,

You know how we have poked fun at the past problems with the Pony Express, rain here for the last 3 days...I'm keeping an eye (a thirdeye) on the porch.

Any tips on Belmont?
