INGREDIENTS

4 pounds turkey legs ((4 turkey legs))

WET CURE

4 cups cool water
2 bay leaves
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon Prague powder #1 (curing salt)

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the curing liquid by dissolving the salt, brown sugar, and curing salt (Prague powder) in cool water. Stir in the black peppercorns and the bay laves.

Place the turkey legs in a gallon zip top bag, and pour the curing liquid over the legs. Put the bag on a place and cure for 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Remove the turkey legs from the refrigerator and take the legs out of the brine. Give them a quick rinse under cool water and pat them dry.

Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. Place your turkey legs directly on the smoker. Close the lid and smoke the turkey legs for 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature of the legs reaches 175 degrees F.

Remove the turkey legs from the smoker, and dig in!INGREDIENTS

I always get a turkey leg when I see them at fairs. I’ll definitely have to try this at home!

Can you brine in a vacuum bag? Does that reduce the brine time?

I’m planning on doing 28 of these. What would be your brining ratio recommendation??

Does the Prague powder have sodium nitrite in it? I think I will leave that out since I don't have it and my Smith's (Kroger) doesn't have it either. I would have to get it online but I don't want any nitrites anyway.

No need to rinse the brine off before smoking? Just pat dry?

Where did you get the turkey legs? I can't find 2-2.5 lb legs here in Metro Atlanta, Ga.

Your video says cook at 275 but the written instructions at the bottom says 225. Which temperature is best? I am trying this tomorrow and my turkey legs are quite a bit smaller than those jumbos. I have a Traeger pellet grill and find that I get much more smoke at the lower temperatures.

What would happen if you did a whole turkey this way? 🤔 I bought a turkey for Thanksgiving but I don’t want to ruin it...

Could I cook these at a lower temp, say 250, at the same time I am smoking a bone-in turkey breast??

Would a boneless skinless turkey breast work or would it dry out. Maybe be on the order of turkey ham.

If I wanted to brine a whole 20 pound turkey in this brine, what would the conversion be for all the ingredients?
