First attempt at turkey on the MES. EVOO, pepper and thyme. Smoking at 225, gonna take them up to 165 internal and rest for 20 minutes.

Looks good so far...sounds like a good plan!  Be sure to let us know how it turns out...

I will keep it coming... decided to turn it up to 250*. Not rushing it, just wanted a little firmer skin. Not that it will get crispy.

I love turkey thighs, my favorite part of the bird.

Holy cow... 1 hour in and I am at 135* IT. Is this possible? I was expecting 3-4 hours on this.

Yup it's possible. They don't take very long when I do them either - usually around 2 1/2 hours unless I crank it up to 297* toward the end for the skin... Just make sure you're probe is in the center so you get an accurate IT

Here is the finished product... wow they were good. Thanks all.
