Honey Orange Smoked Turkey Legs

Ingredients

  • 6 Turkey Legs (1 to 1 ½ pounds each)
  • 4 Quarts (1 gallon) water
  • ¾ cup Honey
  • ¾ cup coarse Salt (sea or kosher)
  • 1 Tbsp Bradley Cure (or Pink Curing Salt, Prague Powder or Insta Cure No.1)
  • The zest (remove it in strips with a vegetable peeler) and juice of 1 Orange
  • 4 Whole Cloves
  • 4 Allspice Berries, lightly crushed with the side of a cleaver
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks (3 inches each)
  • 1 Tbsp Whole Black Peppercorns
  • Bradley Flavour BisquettesCherry

Directions

  1. Make the brine: Combine 2 quarts of water, the honey, salt, curing salt, orange zest and juice, cloves, allspice, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and peppercorns in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking to dissolve the salt and sugar. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 2 quarts water. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. 
  2. Rinse the turkey drumsticks in a colander under cold running water. Prick the skin on all sides with a fork or needle.
  3. Add the turkey drumsticks to the brine, making sure they’re completely submerged. You can hold them down with a dinner plate or a resealable plastic bag filled with ice. Brine the drumsticks in the refrigerator for 48 hours.
  4. When you’re ready to smoke, drain the drumsticks and discard the brine. Pick off and discard any clinging spices. Blot the drumsticks dry with paper towels.
  5. Set up your Bradley Smoker and preheat to 121°C (250°F). (I like to smoke the turkey with Cherry Bisquettes)
  6. Place the drumsticks on the wire grates in the smoker. Smoke the turkey legs until darkly browned and very tender (3 to 4 hours). You’re looking for an internal temperature of 76°C (170°F) on an instant-read thermometer.
  7. Do not be alarmed (on the contrary-be proud) if the meat under the skin is pinkish: That’s a chemical reaction to the cure and the smoke. Serve hot or at room temperature.
