Instructions
- Combine the apple cider with the salt and mix until the salt is dissolved.
- Inject each turkey leg with about ¼ cup of the apple cider injection.
- Dry off the outside of the turkey legs well and then dust liberally with the BBQ rub.
- Preheat your grill or smoker to 250 degrees and set up for indirect heat.
- Smoke for about 45 minutes, then increase the smoker temp to 325 degrees. Continue to smoke the turkey legs until they reach an internal temperature of 185-190 degrees. Note: if the outside of the turkey legs is beginning to get too dark before reaching your internal temperature, spray with the Parkay or spray butter.
- Remove the smoked turkey drumsticks and enjoy.
