Nutrition Facts :

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: This will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Cook the drumsticks until they are cooked through: The best way to tell if the drumsticks are cooked is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the drumsticks should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the drumsticks will not cook evenly. Make sure that there is enough space between the drumsticks so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to prevent the drumsticks from sticking to the pan. It will also help to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Add vegetables to the pan: Adding vegetables to the pan will help to add flavor and nutrients to the dish. You can use a variety of vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery.
