I know it’s not Christmas, not even close 🙂 but I do like turkey all year round. My mum would cook it as much as chicken and I really like it.
Fortunately, I can find turkey in my butcher, even outside the Christmas season. I have a choice between turkey steaks (I will show you this recipe later) and I also have the choice of drumsticks. And they are gorgeous and big 🙂 perfect to make roasted turkey drumsticks…
Roasted turkey drumsticks
Every time I arrive home with this 2 huge drumsticks my boyfriend becomes Fred Flintstone and he just loves it 🙂
I find that the best way to cook it is roasted in the oven. I have tried it in the pressure cooker and although it becomes nice and tender, the roast tastes much better. Why don’t you give it a try?
