Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Season the drumsticks well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to season the drumsticks. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Roast the drumsticks at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Roast the drumsticks at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Baste the drumsticks regularly: This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out. Baste the drumsticks with melted butter or olive oil every 15 minutes or so.
  • Let the drumsticks rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. Let the drumsticks rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted turkey drumsticks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. They are easy to make and can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices to suit your taste. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, roasted turkey drumsticks are a great option.
