Temp for Turkey dark meat

[cmayna]

Gonna be smoking some Turkey drum sticks and thighs. If 155-160 is ideal IT temp for breast meat, what is for dark Turkey meat?

I always do White to 165* Dark to 175* so 10* differential.

I shoot for 170 or so. Dark meat holds moristure better.

I go for 175-180. It's like a butt it needs to break down a little to be tender.

I deboned, rolled and tied 4 thighs and took them to 172*. During rest they got up to 176*
