Ingredients

  • 2 Turkey Legs
  • 1/2 tsp Prague Powder #1
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 Cup Distilled Water

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir to dissolve the Prague powder, salt, and brown sugar in the distilled water.
  • Add the turkey legs to a gallon ziplock bag. Carefully pour in the brine and add the bay leaves. Seal the bag shut and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, preheat your smoker to 300F.
  • Remove the turkey legs from the brine and give them a quick rinse. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them on a rack in your smoker and cook until the thickest part of the leg reaches 160F. Depending on the thickness of your legs, this should take anywhere from 60-90 minutes.
  • Remove from the smoker and serve immediately!
