Smoked Turkey Legs in a Pit Boss Pellet Smoker
Вставка

- Smoked Turkey Legs in you pellet grill or smoker is easy to do and it tastes awesome. Theres nothing better than grabbing a smoked turkey leg and eating it caveman style… knaw away at that juicy, smoked turkey leg and it doesn’t get much better than that.
For this smoked turkey recipe, I kept it simple with a brine that is made up of:
16 cups of water
1 cup of salt
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 Bay Leaf
2 Tablespoons of your favorite smoked turkey rub
The turkey legs go in the brine for 24 hours.
For our smoker today, we are using our Pit Boss KC Combo Pellet Grill with the Competition Blend Pellets. You can use any kind of smoker for this, you just want indirect heat and to set it at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook your smoked Turkey Legs until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and then I brushed on a little bit of BBQ Sauce that I thinned out with apple juice.
Put the Smoked Turkey Legs back in the pellet smoker for another 15 minutes and serve.

Can you still do the legs without a smoke tube?
I can never find a big beautiful turkey leg like that at a grocery store. I didn't even see them at the butcher last time. I love smoked turkey legs...and just like you said reminds me of one of the best things you can get a Disney World :) I have never seen that smoking tube. Love that brine...best way to do turkey ! These look absolutely incredible 🤤 love it !! Thanks for sharing :)
A cup of slat! Too funny , love it Mike , You chomped into that leg like Henry the 8th at one of his royal banquets. Cheers Bro.
Crap... I didn’t catch that. Oh well lol.
Weekend Warrior BBQ No worries it’s all good . 😀
Rob, that was funny!
That’s exactly what I did when I was a kid during Thanksgiving. I’d take a turkey leg and make believe I was a viking! LOL!
Outstanding video brother the turkey legs look so delicious
Thank you Thryon! That BBQ sauce was one of the ones you sent me.
Flavor on a stick!
Yes sir! One of the best smoked turkey leg videos I’ve seen is one of yours ua-cam.com/video/DEOnrTtFs50/v-deo.html
Those looks so damn good man. I want to try on my vertical smoker next time I venture out to get some meat.
Thanks for the tip of the vegetable spray. I did it after an hour in. Fairly crispy. Wasn’t heavy spraying. Just liked you showed. Made a difference for the Turkey skin in my smoker. I wonder if I went earlier with spray more crispy? I will try different types.
Hell I never thought of doing a pit full of turkey legs!!! That looks amazing keep up the good work! You always have new ideas on what to cook man that's awesome
Thank you, Ryan! I love the turkey legs because they are affordable and take in great smoke flavor without too much effort. I went to a 4th of July party about 10 years ago and the host hires a bbq catering company and they must have smoked up about 200 turkey legs... and some other sides... it was so awesome... everyone walking around like a Viking eating a smoked turkey leg (and holding a paper plate with potato salad and the other sides lol).
Great job on the turkey legs Mike! Great color and I could hear that crispy skin!
Thanks 👍 Rus!
looks great Mike!! hope you and the fam are staying safe!!
Thank you very much! I hope you and your family are doing well. We’ll all get through this soon enough
I learned to season lightly after brining. It'll come out too salty. I agree... Let the smoke do it's thing.
Think Pam butter spray would work really well Mike. I’ve done turkey wings. Did good. You staying sage with Corona?
Nice pergola. Where did you get it?
Nice hoodie! I love The Great Outdoors.
The smoke tube works, if you are finding your pellet grill is not giving you enough smoke flavor do the smoke tube!!!
love your show Texan On Tour,peace
Thank you for listening to your followers.
I did it for you Alfredo 😎
Hey Mike. thank you for taking the time to make these awesome video! just wanted to ask. last weekend i made these turkey legs.but i think i messed up on the salt for the brine.( was told it was too salty.i kinda was.). i only added one cup of salt and one cup brown sugar. BUT because i skipped the white sugar, im guessing thats why it was so salty?
Thank you. I think it all comes down to your own personal tastes but what I would do on the next one is make sure to rinse them off really well after the brine and also brine them for less time. I dont think the choice of sugar had anything to do with it.
Those look amazing. I have been watching your videos on the KC Combo as I'm looking into getting it or the Pro Series 1100 Pellet and Gas Combo. It will be my first smoker as well as my first new grill in years (new house..LOL). The one thing that keeps me looking at the KC Combo is the griddle. I'm not sure how often I would use it but I have been wanting a griddle for sometime as well as a pellet grill. Can you recommend one over the other, not taking into account me possibly wanting a griddle. I'd like to know which you think would be a better buy. Thanks!!
Hi, Brian! I think if I had to choose between the two combos I would probably go with the 1100. For some reason the new PID controller in the KC Combo doent put out a strong smoke. I think the 100 still has the old style controller which will give you better smoke flavor. Just my opinion though...
Did I hear you mention you’re setting up a Turkey stand at Wi State fair???
Awesome video with great information. Do you "need" to brine the legs? Or can you just season and smoke?
Thanks, Ricky. The brine is optional but strongly recommended. It adds flavor all the way down to the bone.
I got a smoker tube last year... cannot believe I did not figure to light it up. I think there will be some extra tasty Bar-B-Q at my place this summer ! Especially with the 50 pounds or so of cherry limbs I pruned : ]
Damn brother looks awesome!
Tried this and accidentally use 3/4 cup of each ingredient and still found it way too salty. Perhaps I’m too use to a low sodium diet?
Are you still use the IV combo, how is it performing for you. Going to be getting one soon.
Hi, Russ. I didnt have room to keep it. I actually gave it away to a subscriber who lives near by and he and his family are loving it.
Weekend Warrior BBQ ok thanks glad to hear they are still using it. Thanks for the info about it
Try a cheap harbor frieght heatgun to light anything.
7:06 Wait for it, ash turkey legs
They look good. I got to try just some legs.
You will love the legs
Can i use my vertical pit boss smoker for this?
Yes you can!
Don’t typically care for poultry legs, but those are makin’ me drool! I’d have to modify a bit since supposed to be low sodium now, but should still be awesome!
I’m here to tell you Bill that those smoked turkey legs are something special! Skip the brine or find one that is low sodium. Otherwise, it’s all about the anime flavor. It’s fantastic
Can you use pre-smoked turkey legs?
Yeah that would be even better 😁
Can I use a smoke tube in the series 3?
Yeah, I do it all the time.
A heat gun works great for starting the smoke tube.
Great cook Mike! I think many people aren’t aware of how great turkey is on the grill or smoker. I’m partial to the leg, but my wife likes the breast so I occasionally grab the pre-packed bnls breasts and brine over night like you do. DELICIOUS!
TFS and stay healthy bro😎✌️
You still doing your online texting thing?
Thanks John! I am still doing the text community. Text me at +1 (216) 208-4301
Weekend Warrior BBQ thanks. Put it in my phone. I’ll send some pics in the next day or two.
