Turkey Thigh

Grilling Tips

Before placing your turkey thighs onto the grill, tuck the flatter sides under the bone. This step will ensure even cooking. Once they have begun the cooking process they should maintain this shape.

Set your grill up for indirect high heat. You are looking for a temperature above 375-400 degrees on your hood thermometer.

Place the turkey thighs onto the grill, off the heat, but close to the heat source. If you are grilling multiple thighs and they all can’t be next to the heat rotate the position after about 15 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the turkey after 30 minutes. If your above 130 degrees continue to the next step if not allow to continue to cook checking the temp every 10 minutes or so.

Once you have reached the 130 internal temp coat the skin with butter. To do this simply cut a chunk off of a stick of butter, stick a fork in the center and brush the butter over the skin.

Allow to cook until the turkey reaches an internal temp of 180 (thigh-dark meat should be cooked to 180 degrees).
