Turkey Legs

[Mitch J]

1st ever turkey leg cook...let's see what happens.

Soaked in sugar/salt/sage brine for 3 hours, then rubbed with Penzeys BBQ of the Americas seasoning. Cooking over lump and about 3 handfuls of cherry chips.

Can't wait to see the end results

Here they are with a little sauce applied, at this point they had about 30 minutes to go. Decided to put a thin coating of sauce on with an hour left to give them that state fair look!

I'm flattered by all the leg comments....Maybe I should get a replica and construct a lamp!

They turned out well, however I could've added more rub I think. Very moist and tender, good smoke flavor, but I would've like a little more of that paprika/smokey spice flavor.

Unfortunately the bones splinter, so my attempt at eating them like a caveman was thwarted about halfway through...had to pick the meat off by hand after that!

Served with some grass-fed beef brats and sweet potato/spinach salad. Guests and hosts devoured everything!
