Smoked Turkey Legs

[benfrench]

We went to the local farmer's market on Friday and they had turkey legs...so what the heck, lets have that for dinner. I used Tastefully Simple's Fiesta Party Dip Mix as a dry rub (not bad if you have never had it) and apple wood for the smoke..well enough of that...here is the Q-View:

Your turkey legs look very good. Here is a post from Pop with some good info about removing the ligaments. Turkey legs is something I want to do soon. Thanks for posting this!

Very nice, I would like to do that, what temp did you smoke them at and how long??

No brine I take it huh?? Never done any poultry yet so just learning on that part.

I smoked them at about 200-225 for just under 3 hours. I didn't brine them, I usually do with poultry but didn't have the time this go around and they came out pretty tasty.
