So I have been waiting for my first chance to smoke some turkey legs. This labor day weekend was that opportunity. I started with home raise turkey legs from our batch last fall. They have been waiting in freezer for just this occasion. Then I soaked them in JJ's brine for about 48 hours then let them sit for about 12 hours. I used a little rub that I made up. It was taken from bilbos rub, with a little twist. I also used some butter injection with a little heat kick. Then they hit the smoker. I am using alder wood and a camp chef smoke vault. Got her parked at 225 right now. And there are also some potatoes on the rack rubbed in olive oil and sea salt.
