About

I have fond memories of going to the fair as a youngster and eating deliciously smoked turkey legs wrapped in foil. They were steaming hot when you opened the foil. The taste, as I remember it, was pretty unbelievable. My version of this special treat is about as good as it gets.

Method

Preparation

Rinse the turkey legs in cold water and place them in Jeff’s Turkey Leg Brine for three to four hours. Once they are finished brining, rinse them again in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Let the turkey legs sit on the counter for 30 to 45 minutes to bring them up to room temperature while you set up your smoker.
