Massive smoked turkey drumsticks with fall-off-the-bone tenderness are a high protein, family-fun BBQ classic. These fair-style favorites bring carnival excitement to your backyard.
Pat turkey drumsticks dry thoroughly and rub all over with olive oil to help the seasoning stick and retain moisture during smoking.
Combine kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture generously over drumsticks, massaging it in for even coverage.
Preheat smoker to 250°F (121°C) and add your preferred wood chips (hickory or apple works well). Place drumsticks directly on the smoker grate, leaving space between each.
Smoke drumsticks for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning once halfway. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer – reach at least 175°F for tender, fall-off-the-bone texture.
Rest drumsticks for 10 minutes, loosely covered in foil, before serving. This step helps juices redistribute and ensures moist, juicy meat.
