Smoked Turkey Legs Recipe with PGS A Series Grills
We believe that cooking should be enjoyable, not stressful. That’s why we’re sharing our favorite recipe for smoked turkey legs, which pairs perfectly with your PGS A Series grill. Using an outdoor grill gives you more space and flexibility, making it easier to prepare a variety of dishes for your Thanksgiving feast.
This recipe, adapted from TasteOfHome.com, offers a bold flavor profile that’s perfect for the season. We’ve adjusted the spice level to suit our preferences, but feel free to tweak it to your taste. Here’s the original version for reference.
Thanksgiving Smoked Legs
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1¼ tsp paprika
- 1½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp crushed pepper
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 turkey leg (1½ pounds each)
- 3 cups soaked applewood chips
Notes on seasoning & smoking
* Our version is about twice as spicy as the original. We increased the amount of crushed pepper and added a bit more Cayenne for extra heat. If you prefer a milder version, stick to the original recipe. For a balanced flavor, adjust the spices accordingly.
** Applewood chips add a sweet, fruity smokiness that complements the turkey beautifully. You can also experiment with other types like cherry, peach, maple, pecan, or ash for different flavors. For a more traditional BBQ taste, try alder, mesquite, hickory, or oak.
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix the first nine ingredients with the melted butter. Brush the mixture onto the turkey legs and let them rest for four minutes.
2. Place your chosen wood chips in a smoking packet and put it on the grill. Cook the turkey over indirect medium heat for 40–45 minutes, checking the internal temperature (should reach 175°F). Turn the legs every 4–6 minutes.
How to Make a Smoking Packet
Take a square of heavy-duty aluminum foil, place a handful of soaked wood chips in the center, fold the foil, and poke a few holes with a knife or fork. Place it over direct heat to generate smoke.
No Thanksgiving meal is complete without cranberry sauce.
