We were at the market last week and turkey legs were $3.99 a pound. About a buck more than last year. The legs were big! We bought three legs at $21 and change. About 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 pounds each?
Made up a batch of Pop's brine. Cut the tendons, into the brine, and into the refrigerator for 5...
Do you mind telling us more about the tendon work? The major reason I don't get these at fairs are b/c of those tendons. I would love to try again with your method.
I did my first smoke for people other than me and my GF. Smoked a meatloaf, turkey breast roast and "grilled" some beer brats. Everything turned out great. I was too busy cooking/hosting and forgot to take pictures.
I recently smoked a boneless / skinless turkey breast with cracked pepper, which is one of my favorite recipes. My injection was a mixture of Kosmos Chicken Soak and LC Fowl Play (using amounts much less than the competition amounts). I had enough left over to use it as a cover brine. Brine...
About the only way I will eat turkey any more is cured in Pop's low salt brine. I put the breast in brine frozen. Couple days thawed enough to get gravy package out. Started Monday and smoked yesterday. Smoked at 250 with cherry chips in tube for about 3 hours. First time doing butternut...
Brined, rinsed, seasoned, smoked, ate. Probably the least problematic smoke yet. NO issues. Brined with a picanha steak seasoning (95% salt) over night. Seasoned with "Bam" seasoning, smoked at 250 for about 6 hours. The beer can chicken stand worked perfectly to keep the breast upright...
I smoked a turkey today and it came out creosote looking on the outside skin. Came off my gloves onto the meat while handling it.
-Propane smoker.
-Injected with Butter and Honey.
-Smoked at 275*-300* with competition blend pellets for smoke.
...pleased that it wasn’t just a fluke and that the smoker is performing so well.
This week, I headed in a completely new direction.
Smokedturkey.
First, it was brined for 24 hours, then seasoned with a dry rub, and finally smoked using oak, beech, and cherry wood.
The result was...
You should look into the boned and rolled turkey and chicken breast I do .

Pop's Brine

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 TBLS cure one

Inject the turkey with as much brine as it will hold and soak overnight. Drain , rinse and pat dry. Place the turkey back into the fridge for an hour or so...
I saw BrianGSDTexoma's post 'Just Some Smoked Cured Chicken Breast' and I thought, gee......I haven't done smokedturkey legs in awhile. Don't ask how I got from chicken and turkey breasts to turkey legs, but it happens to me a lot when I read these post's.
So Friday I threw four legs in Pop's...
Thanks John
Thanks HT. I will have to try that.
Thanks Jeff. I not a fan of turkey but something magical happens when its cured. Made turkey soup yesterday and put a little curry powder in it. Man was that good. I still have some of that Bird Booster. Need to use it up.
I always wet brine a Chiken Breast but with a Turkey breast being so much larger and usually already brined by Butterball or whomever, does it make any sense to wet brine a Turkey Breast?
Thanks, Randolph
