Tried my hand at turkey legs this weekend. These legs were huge! Brined them for 48 hrs in Chef JJ brine then rubbed the skin with EVO and applied a wild game rub. Smoked @250 ish for 3-3 1/2 hrs. The skin was a little rubbery but super moist. Big hit with the family.

I think the rub on the skin made it a little salty. Going to try throwing them in the grill the last few minutes to crisp the skin up more next time. Or if any one has other suggestions

Looks great to me... I cook Poultry higher to help with the skin... but nothing wrong with the Grill either. I normally toss the skin anyway, flavor is there , so . . .
