I ended up with some bone in turkey thighs, skin on. They weigh around 2 lb. What are some options for cooking these?

Stew could be yummy, maybe a hearty mushroom barley soup with turkey (id cook the turkey in the soup, then debone and put back in in large pieces so it doesn't turn to shreds as you serve)
Shredded turkey for pizza, subs, tacos, etc
I think there is a way to deep-fry it? Not sure though

It would be delicious in a chicken soup or shredded and in place of shawarma. Or maybe a stir fry.

You can modify this but it will supply a starting point for a delicious result
Braised Turkey Legs with Fruit, Olives, and Almonds
Excerpt From: Southern Living
SERVES 6 ACTIVE 1 HOUR, 20 MIN. TOTAL 15 HOURS, 50 MIN.
Don’t be put off by the timing here. Seasoning the legs and putting them in the fridge uncovered overnight allows them to soak up lots of flavor while air-drying to crisp up the skin, which is key for browning in the pan before braising.
6 fresh turkey legs (about 5 lb.)
¾ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground turmeric
⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil
8 large shallots, peeled and sliced
1½ cups chicken broth
1 tsp. Meyer lemon zest
¼ cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
12 pitted prunes, chopped
½ cup halved pitted Castelvetrano olives
4 cups hot cooked couscous
½ cup toasted Marcona almonds, lightly chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
Lemon wedges
1. Season turkey legs with salt, black pepper, and next 5 ingredients. Rub mixture all over turkey legs to coat. Place turkey legs in a single layer on a rack in a jelly-roll pan; chill, uncovered, 12 to 24 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Let turkey stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Cook 3 turkey legs in hot oil in Dutch oven over medium–high 10 minutes until well browned on all sides. Remove the turkey legs from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining turkey legs.
3. Cook shallots in drippings over medium 5 minutes, stirring constantly, or until tender. Add broth, stirring to loosen any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Stir in Meyer lemon zest and juice. Return turkey legs to the pan, and add the prunes and olives. Place a piece of parchment paper directly on turkey legs and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
4. Bake in preheated oven until meat pulls away from bone, 1½ to 2 hours. Remove from heat, and let turkey stand in Dutch oven, covered with parchment and lid, at room temperature 30 minutes. Discard parchment paper.
5. Preheat broiler with oven rack 7 inches from heat. Carefully remove turkey legs from Dutch oven and place on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan.
6. Broil turkey 2 to 3 minutes or until skin is crisp and golden brown. Cover loosely with aluminum foil. Pour liquid from Dutch oven through a strainer into a glass measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes. Skim fat from the surface; discard fat.
7. Serve turkey legs over couscous. Sprinkle with almonds and oregano. Serve with lemon wedges and sauce.

We use them in cholent instead of beef. They give a rich flavor and the bones don't get chalky like chicken. (But don't use turkey legs! They have lots of thin bones that DO get chalky, break apart, and ruin the meat.)
They would be great in any kind of stew that cooks long enough to pull the goodness out the bones.

You can cook it in the crockpot - it's a really easy supper!
Put some rice, brown or white on the bottom of the crock pot. Add the turkey legs. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika. You can also add seasoned salt if you want, sautéed onions if you want, chicken soup mix if you want. Add water (or soup broth) and cook on low for a few hours.
My family loves this recipe
