I've smoked the HEB turkey legs on my Pit Boss Pro Series 820 four times now. First two times I brined them with kosher salt, brown sugar and Honey Hog, the last two times I didn't brine them and only used Holy VooDoo (your best rub imo). I can honestly say that brining the ones from HEB is no longer necessary, they still came out juicy and tender. My bird bath for my Thanksgiving turkey also arrived today and I ain't mad about it.

@JBurn2442 жыл бұрын
I tried this and overall they turned out pretty good...great flavor, great color. My only issue was that by peeling back the skin to season underneath and then putting it back, it seemed to cause the skin to shrivel up around the base of the leg during cooking (seemingly much more than the ones in the video), so the skin got all rubbery and wasn't bite-through at all. Thinking about doing this again for Thanksgiving, but may skip seasoning under the skin in hopes it turns out a little better.

Sorry I like my legs to taste like ham.. ha ha... I brine over night. You should do what I do. I brine my legs in different rubs that I like and add additional sugar and salt to taste. I have yet to use 1 cup of your rub on my turkey legs. But i have done it on chicken drumsticks and your Holy Cow brine plus "other stuff" is off da chain good! Why people never use BBQ rubs as a water or dry brine base puzzles me.

I really enjoyed that video it was very detailed and professional, and the meat looks good. This is the only video that I have seen that gives a great demonstration. My family has been wanting me to try to duplicate those fair turkey legs for some time. The only question I have is, can it be duplicated on a pellet cooker? Also purchased some of "Bird Wash" from a local retailer, and I am looking forward to using it on the turkey legs.
