SMOKED TURKEY LEGS
Steps:
- Several hours before planning on barbecuing, loosen the skin on the turkey legs by running your fingers under it as far as possible without tearing the skin.
- Combine the Worcestershire sauce and the oil. Coat your fingers with the mixture and rub really well into the turkey legs, getting as much as you can under the skin. Sprinkle the Dry Rub over the skin, liberally rubbing into the turkey legs and under the skin. Place the legs in plastic bags and refrigerate.
- Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200 to 220 degrees F. Remove the turkey legs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Re-warm the mop mixture over low heat.
- Transfer the turkey legs to the smoker. Cook until the legs are very tender and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Mop the legs at 45-minute intervals in a wood-burning pit, or as appropriate for your style of smoker. Serve the legs hot, to be eaten with your fingers, with a side of barbecue sauce.
- Mix ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Combine the mop ingredients in a small saucepan and warm the mixture over low heat.
SMOKED TURKEY LEGS
Steps:
- Place the water, kosher salt and brown sugar in an 8-quart plastic container and stir until fully dissolved. Add the ice before submerging the turkey legs in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Set up your favorite smoker and add a handful of hardwood chunks. If you have heat control, set it to 150 to 170 degrees F and allow the wood to smoke for approximately 30 minutes.
- While the smoker is heating, drain the legs, pat them dry and arrange them on a rack. Smoke the legs on the rack for 3 hours, rotating the legs halfway through.
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Make 2 pouches out of double-layered heavy-duty tin foil, adding 3 legs and 1/2 cup of chicken stock to each pouch. Braise the legs in their pouches for 1 hour, then carefully drain and reserve the jus.
- Defat the jus, remove the skins and serve the legs alongside the smoky jus.
ROASTED SMOKY TURKEY LEGS
My husband and I absolutely LOVE the smoked turkey legs that are available at the nearby theme parks. This is a close, smokeless, version of those turkey legs that hold a very special place in our hearts. The passive cooking time includes the brining time.

Steps:
- Mix the salt, brown sugar, liquid smoke and water together until all is dissolved and pour the briny mixture over the turkey legs.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 24-hours to 72-hours.
- Rinse the brine off the turkey, pat dry with paper towels and roast at 350°F for about 45 minutes.
- By this time, the turkey will almost be done, but the skin will still have a pale color, so I crank the oven up to 500°F and roast the legs/wings until they are a rich mahogany color, then I flip them over and roast the other side until it is also deep brown.

- Rinse the turkey legs with cold water and place them in a large container. Add the bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, and mustard seeds plus 7 cups of ice (listed under the brine ingredients).
- Prepare the brine solution - boil the water with the two types of salt and brown sugar. Stir to dissolve, cool down a bit and pour over the turkey legs and ice. The ice cubes will cause it to cool down all the way and the brining solution will get diluted as needed. Cover and refrigerate (closer to 48 hours for best results).***
- Mix the dry rub and apply it generously over the drumsticks. Let them come to room temperature while you preheat the smoker.

- Combine all of the ingredients for the brine in a large pot and bring to a boil. Let cool. if you're short on time, you can also start by boiling the brine with just 2 quarts of water and then adding ice to cool to 1 gallon of brine.
- While that's happening, rinse your turkey legs and set aside in a large container (one that will fit into your refrigerator). You may want to use two separate containers. When the brine has cooled, pour the brine over the turkey legs, making sure they are totally submerged. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- If you want to expedite the process, use a marinade injector, injecting one syringe-full of brine into each turkey leg (1½ syringe-fulls for the larger turkey legs). Then, let brine as usual for 5-6 hours. This way, the turkey legs don't need to brine overnight. Sounds gruesome, but it really expedites the process, and these marinade injectors are pretty inexpensive!
- When the turkey legs are ready, heat your charcoal. Your key tools for this recipe are a charcoal grill, a chimney starter, charcoal, and wet wood chips, which provides the smoky flavor. Fill your chimney with charcoal and light the coals with a piece of newspaper. Let heat for a solid 15-20 minutes or so--until the coals are slightly white hot. Also, take 1-2 handfuls of wood chips and soak them in water while the coals are heating.

- Choose Your Legs. It can sometimes be tricky to find turkey legs when it's not the holidays. And, when you do, they are often part of the whole bird. Ask the butcher at your local market for help, and see if they can order the legs from the large male turkeys instead of the smaller females (if you want fair-style jumbo legs).
- Brining Is Best. Brined Turkey. Though it's not absolutely necessary, taking the time to brine your bird legs before you smoke them will add flavor and moisture.
- Rinse and Dry. To make sure your turkey legs aren't too salty, give them a quick rinse after brining. This also helps to remove any excess seasoning that may burn while smoking.
- Rub With Spices. Johnny's Spice Rub. Lightly rub the turkey legs with high-heat oil like vegetable, canola, corn, grapeseed, safflower, or sunflower (don't use olive oil, as it can burn easily), then apply your favorite combination of spices, seasoning rub, or just go au-natural.
- Smoke the Turkey. Smoking Turkey Legs. Here is where all of that preparation is put to good use: The smoking! Here's how long to cook smoked turkey legs, depending on how you're smoking them
