Prepare the Ribs:

• Pat turkey ribs dry with a paper towel and lightly season with kosher salt.

Marinate the Ribs:

• Mix olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, thyme, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
• Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring even coverage.
• Marinate in the fridge for 2–8 hours.

Apply the Dry Rub:

• Remove ribs from the marinade and pat dry.
• Generously coat both sides with the dry rub mixture.

Choose a Cooking Method:

Smoking Method:

• Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
• Place ribs in the smoker and cook for 2–3 hours, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Grilling Method:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F).
• Grill ribs for 15–20 minutes per side, checking for a final temperature of 165°F.

Air Fryer Method:

• Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
• Cook ribs for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Rest and Serve:

• Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes after cooking to lock in the juices.
• Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or side dishes.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair turkey ribs with classic sides like coleslaw, roasted veggies, or cornbread. For a summer cookout, add honey lime grilled corn or a black bean and corn salad.

Pro Tips:

• Marinating: Longer marinating enhances flavor; avoid exceeding 24 hours.
• Temperature Control: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked, juicy ribs.
• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
