Grilled Turkey Thighs
« Reply #-1 on: February 23, 2014, 03:56:08 PM »
I haven’t seen turkey thighs in the commissary until the other day. I picked up one package and decided that would be Sunday’s
cook.  This morning I injected both with Louisiana Cajun Butter and hit the skins with some kosher salt to try and dry them out
some.  They were put back into the refrigerator for a few hours.


I seasoned the thighs with Simply Marvelous Cherry rub and got a couple of bakers ready for the grill.


The bakers put onto the Performer, using KBB and a few chunks of cherry wood.


Potatoes took about an hour and a half to finish.  The thighs were put on the grill skin side down to start.


Since my wife was out of town when I did my Bacon Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked potatoes, she requested that I make them.
Here they are getting ready to go back onto the grill. I used my smoked Pepper Jack cheese this time instead of the Colby/Monterrey
Jack I used last.  I plan on putting them back on the grill while the turkey thighs are resting.


Thighs are done!


Potatoes back on the grill!


Potatoes are done!


Here’s your plate!


I definitely will be doing these again.  Very flavorful, moist and with edible skin.

Been thinking about picking up some of that Cherry Rub.  How was It on the Turkey meat and have you used his Cherry rub on other cooks ?

  Love those thighs they look scrumptious ! !
