Turkey Thighs Smoked On The Weber Kettle

If you're looking for a piece of Turkey to smoke that will turn out juicy, delicious, and beautiful, give the Thighs a try. Here I smoke a pair of Turkey Thighs on the Weber Kettle using the Slow n Sear and some Pecan Wood. A simple seasoning marinade and some maple barbecue sauce glaze gave these Turkey Thighs amazing flavor and color.
Seasoning Mixture
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 tsp Celery Salt
1 tsp Coarse Salt
1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper
2 TBSP Olive Oil

Man I absolutely LOVE grilling Turkey Thighs, so I can't believe I hadn't thought of smoking them yet. I'll be doing it next time though, that's for sure. Great glazes and seasonings, as always. Copper Kettles RULE!

[@harleykostuk5889]

Doing this for Christmas first time smoking turkey

[@lpeter5781]

I love that you publish your ingredients. Thanks, man, keep it up!

[@kimi01210]

I watched it. I make them. They loved them. My parent's 42nd anniversary will be memorable, and for me, next year's 5th of may will be the 1st anniversary of my first time smoking anything. Awesome teacher Ry! This video is timeless.

[@jfennell32]

This the first time in my life that I have ever seen a smoked turkey thigh

[@jonandrews6299]

Really nice. I'm also a fan of the chilled, laid back music which suits the mood of what smoking meat should all be about.

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I just watched Malcom Reed do turkey legs, and now I've watched you do turkey thighs and I must say, all of this turkey business has got me in a turkey state of mind! Looked great Ry!

[@CookingWithRy]

It's that time of year. I just picked up a turkey today that will be hitting the smoker next week :)

[@progers5019]

That is a colorful turkey thigh with the glaze you put together. Looks delicious Ry. Nice job

[@CookingWithRy]

Thank you, Phil!

[@dannmilich6246]

Those looked most excellent! One of my favorite days for legs, thighs and wings is almost here! Cheers, Ry!

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks!

[@senormofeta6726]

Ry, you nailed it bro

[@cutlerylover]

Looked up smoked turkey thighs enjoyed this video made perfect BBQ thighs and you earned an other sub :) looking forward to all your vids, thanks

[@jeffshannon5410]

The color on those were fantastic wow! I don't think I can wait until Thanksgiving to do this! Thanks for the great recipe and video

[@CookingWithRy]

Yeah that color turns out so nice with that glaze :)

[@millenialbroadcast]

Great video

[@susanoconnor1454]

Those look delicious. I cook turkey thighs all year around when I can get them. They are a great summer meal from the smoker/grill.

[@CookingWithRy]

Yeah I wish we could get turkey more regularly year round where I live :)

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Nice color on them turkey thighs. They look excellent.

[@CookingWithRy]

Thanks! That glaze and smoke combo usually does the trick :)

[@dancava112]

making me hungry

[@jimlippy8587]

Very nice!!!

[@AD-kg6yp]

Thank you, sir!

[@carolynclay2617]

Ok,,luv that pecan wood.

[@carolynclay2617]

Ok,,, now that's what I'm talking about. I ❤️ the way you did them thighs. I see you have a good quality and nice Webber with all the pieces two smoke meat. It been a year ago according to this video.,,yet a great meal made.🔥🔥

[@liannemoore8286]

TYVM!

[@shanevision]

These look so good, decided to do the recipe tomorrow. Four thighs, two legs.

[@CookingWithRy]

Perfect! Hope they turn out great :)

[@jcreeperj]

Nice!!.

[@georgecutting3952]

Oh wow them turkey thighs look so good have about four of those and that stuff in it you made Tuesday or showed us how to make Tuesday and there's Thanksgiving dinner right there

[@CookingWithRy]

Yeah they were some good sized thighs :)

[@CookinWithJames]

some turkey on turkey action. lol! those look very good ry! super juicy. thighs is my favorite!

[@CookingWithRy]

So much flavor in them :)

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Man those look great. The color was awesome before you put the glaze but then it took them to that beautiful mahogany color. Had to be an amazing flavor.

[@CookingWithRy]

Hard to beat those thighs. Such deep flavor :)

[@ggarden8432]

Good stuff, I've been waiting for Turkeys to go on sale ( just picked one up $10) to practice before smoking a fresh farm turkey.

[@CookingWithRy]

I've been waiting for the same thing. They just started showing up in the stores near me :)

[@Mixwell1983]

With turkey/chicken i like to take the thighs/drumsticks to 170-180F primary for the texture, I find at 165 the meat to be a tad bit chewy. The dark meat can handle anothe le 10-15 degrees without drying out especially if you brine it.

[@jasonsteele9580]

Yummy tummy

[@christianbozwell4981]

This guy is a scientist....

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

Looks awesome. In a few weeks i am going south where turkey is more common. I will go see if i can get some thighs bthey usually sell wings and drumsticks so hopefully :)

[@CookingWithRy]

The thighs are so rich in flavor :)

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

That really came out well. Can't go wrong with turkey, even though I am turkeyed out already..lol

[@CookingWithRy]

It's that time of year for turkey overdose :)

[@fpineda101]

Another winner! Ever done a brisket with a slow n sear?

[@CookingWithRy]

Not yet :)

[@johnknapp6328]

Thanksgiving at Ry's Everyone

[@yakuzaronin7090]

Hi, any thoughts on pan searing the thighs to a golden color before smoking them? maybe help with avoiding rubbery turkey skin but also for those on pellet smokers that might not get the color of stick burners or charcoal

[@CookingWithRy]

I might actually try that at the end after smoking :)

[@yakuzaronin7090]

@@CookingWithRy after?....my mind is blown. looking forward to hearing how it turns out :)

[@sutton9112]

am doing that next

[@getter7seven]

Great looking bird. Incidentally, have you done any/intend to do any tinkering with goose? At a glance, the going rate in these parts for one seems to be roughly equivalent to buying a whole chicken, whole duck, and maybe a whole turkey combined---which begs the question...

[@CookingWithRy]

In my area I haven't seen any good sources for goose, other than the occasional frozen one that seems like it's been in the back of the butcher's freezer case since 1997. But I'd like to give it a try if I could find a good source :)

[@mdbaus]

Would corn syrup work in the glaze?? I don't like maple flavor on meats!

[@CookingWithRy]

Sure. I've also used honey or agave in the same way :)

[@Mixwell1983]

Grocery store had a deal on whole turkeys, this year betweeny fam and my sisters fam meeting up for thanksgiving i did the turkey she did ham and she suggested only buying a turkey breast.. well i took off the dark meat and did the breast for thanksgiving but have the 2 legs thighs,drumettes and wings so 8 pieces total. Brined em all together and decided ill smoke the limbs. My sister and mom are crazy, they prefer the light breast meat regardless of how many times i tell them the dark meat is better. Sam with chicken.

[@boss123400]

Serve that on a large warm yeasty dinner roll with butter on both sides, black olives, and a dollop of cranberry sauce.

[@CookingWithRy]

That'll work :)

[@seanlatimer5871]

How long was cooking time to 130 and to 165? 😊

[@CookingWithRy]

I don’t usually track that since I’m watching temp.

[@seanlatimer5871]

@@CookingWithRy Thanks. I understand. I was looking for an approximate duration to plan when to start to finish for dinner :)

[@CookingWithRy]

@@seanlatimer5871 I mean generally I plan on 1 hour, give or take 15 minutes.

I needed a mop after looking at them :)
