Turkey drumstick baked in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a turkey drumstick in the oven? Prepare the products according to the list. I take fresh turkey drumsticks, the size and weight of the turkey can vary, so you can take one drumstick with the indicated weight, or you can take two very small ones. I take Russian mustard, dry spices for poultry, approximately one teaspoon of salt, but in any case in First of all, focus on your taste. You can also add ground black pepper to taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   The turkey drumstick should be fresh, natural in color and free of any unpleasant odor. If frozen drumstick is used for cooking, then it should be defrosted naturally; if there is no time for this, then you can use the microwave. This recipe will also work if you use a boneless turkey drumstick. Rinse the drumstick under cold running water, pat dry with paper or a regular towel, and place it in a deep tray or pan.

3. STEP 3

   

   Thoroughly coat the turkey drumstick on all sides with salt and mustard so that it is completely covered. If the turkey is larger than the specified weight, then you can use more mustard. Thanks to mustard, turkey meat is very juicy. Cover the drumstick with film and put it in a cool place to marinate for 2 hours. The larger the turkey, the longer it needs to marinate.

4. STEP 4

   

   After two hours, rub the turkey drumstick with dry spices so that they completely cover the entire drumstick. You can use any spices here to suit your taste. Wrap the drumstick in foil and place in a baking dish. Bake the turkey drumstick in the oven in foil at 200 degrees for about 2 hours. When pierced with a sharp knife, clear juice comes out of the finished drumstick. The times are approximate; for more information on how ovens work, see the article at the end of this recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the finished drumstick from the oven, carefully unwrap it and place it on a large platter. Using a sharp knife, trim thin pieces from the edges of the drumstick and serve. Pasta, boiled rice and buckwheat, and vegetables are suitable as a side dish for this meat. Bon appetit!

I saw a fresh turkey in the store and wanted to bake it, because such meat is delicious both hot and cold for sandwiches. The processing seems to be the simplest, but the turkey drumstick baked in the oven tasted great! The drumstick chose a large one for 1 kg. I immediately washed it, lightly salted it and coated it with homemade spicy mustard, which I made myself using cucumber brine. I also tried to spread it under the skin. A day later, I coated the drumstick with a mixture of paprika, chicken spices and dried rosemary. Bake for exactly two hours at 200°C. I didn't remove the foil, and the turkey was perfectly browned without it. The meat turned out to be very soft, tender, and easily breaks down into fibers! Tasty, beautiful and smells delicious!

Thanks to the author! The drumstick turned out very tasty! I haven’t eaten anything like this, although it would seem that I have cooked poultry meat in a huge number of variations! The only pity is that very little edible comes out. It’s probably more rational to actually make a salad from 3 of these drumsticks. It's my opinion)
