A couple of ways we like it:
1. Fried Strips or Nuggets - soak in buttermilk or pickle juice (try the pickle juice - its good!) for a day or so, dredge in seasoned flour, and drop in some hot grease.
2) Strips pounded thin with a meat mallet and pan fried like cube steak or spread cream cheese and jalapeno on them, roll them up, wrap in bacon, and grill.
3) Legs and thighs - boil in seasoned water, pull meat from bone and run through food processor, mix in mayo, celery, etc. for turkey salad.

I grill mine and its juicy as hell. I brine it overnight and then mix up my own cajun butter sauce with melted butter,creole seasoning,garlic,onion powder, and lemon juice and baste it while grilling. Sometimes i will inject the homemade baste into the breast. I always have some pecan wood on with everything i grill. Blum, are you slicing or cutting the breast prior to grilling or grilling it whole? If you're grilling it whole, how do you keep the skinny end from cooking more than the fat end? Every piece I've tried, the skinny end was dried out by the time the thick end reached 160 in the center.

Has anyone ever tried smoking the dark meat? I cannot imagine it'd come close to anything resembling good. Most meats that are smoked have high fat contents and the slow cooking helps melt those fats away and leaves the meat moist and tender. A turkey leg and thigh is just about pure muscle with little or no fat. If you smoke a wild turkey leg, I bet you'll need the jaw muscles of an alligator to chew it.
