Turkey thighs?

[Sakko300wsm]

Actually braising a set now for a couple hours from a Tom I got on Friday - anybody else had good luck with the thighs?

[Sundance]

There was a meat eater show where they put them in a crockpot. They then pulled all the tendons and made a turkey salad for sandwiches, looked really good. Hope to try it this season

Just boil the cr*p out of them with some salt, pepper, couple of sliced onions and any other spice you might like. When the meat is falling of the bone, they are done. Yank the tendons and start eating. Yum!

Look at post #38, @bearpaw has a easy recipe for thighs and legs.

Legs and thighs both make great soup. Boil until meat is tender, remove all bones, add favorite seasoning and veges and boil until veges soften, add noodles and boil until noodles are done!

Marinate in teriyaki or brine, throw them on the smoker and finish on the BBQ.  Then cut into thin strips and serve over rice.  I mix garlic and butter into the rice, sometimes some chicken base too.

Braised and fried with peppers (spicyness to liking). Best tacos or enchiladas! Rinse and repeat for goose.

Like some have said, Soup. I make Taco Soup out my Turkey, Goose and Duck legs. Always great!

I steam until tender, then deep fry and and add wing sauce
Or turkey noodle soup

I bone mine out and cut them up for a stir fry excellent eating.

Same as above or everything gets boned out and ground into sausage.

Braised them for 3 hours after. Brining  for 3 hours - they were amazing!!

They are great in the pressure cooker. Brown them in a cast iron, then into the pressure cooker. Add spices & beef or chicken broth and shred the meat for tacos.

Stuff them in an instant pot, fill with chicken stock until they are almost covered, manual 90 minutes. Pulls right off, tendons just fall away. I put mine on top of mashed potatoes then cover with gravy but you could do whatever. Save the broth.

I did some thighs and legs from fall birds last year. I went the "confit" way. Put the whole thigh/leg(skin off) in a salt, sugar and aromatics rub in the fridge overnight. Then I took some warm melted beef tallow and put enough in a cake pan to mostly cover the thighs along a couple of heads of garlic chopped in half. Baked it @ 250 for 3ish hours or until fork tender. Then I covered it in foil and let it cool down enough to put in the fridge overnight. The next evening I warmed the pan up enough to pull the meat out of the tallow. The bones fell right out. Pan fried up the meat like carnitas for tacos. My wife thought it was pork, it was very tasty.

Any good smoker recipes?

I'm going to smoke a bought turkey and some wild turkey breast soon, I'm going to find a recipe online to try and if it turns out good I'll post it. Maybe someone will provide a good recipe?

Pressure cooker is a great idea, wouldn't take near as long as boiling in a regular pot to get them tender! How long do you usually pressure cook?

I use an Instant Pot style pressure cooker. I set it to high pressure for an hour, it shreds off nicely. If I have time, I will shred it from the bones/tendons and then throw the meat back in for an additional 15-30 min. It makes the meat even more tender.

Also works great for goose or pheasant legs.

Currently have a turkey leg cooking in the crock pot for turkey pot pie tonight. Crock pot solves everything.
