Easy smoking recipe for a gathering. It appears to take a long time but it's mostly in marinate and smoking time.
MARINATE:
Mix orange juice, pineapple juice, oil and 1 teaspoon of the thyme in a gallon sealable bag. Add turkey thighs and turn to coat well. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Turn occasionally. Drain and place on baking pan for the smoker.
SMOKE:
Smoke-cook at 225F for 2 hours. Then continue to roast in oven at 325F until internal temperature reaches 180-185F.
I alway buy pre-cut thighs and drumsticks so that I can easily ready for marinate. It's a little more expensive but saves time. Or, you can simply cut off the thighs and drumsticks from the bird while saving the breast for a brine.
