Turkey drumstick in the oven in a sleeve

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a turkey drumstick in a sleeve? First measure out the ingredients you need. Turkeys come in different sizes, so pay attention to this - I indicated the volume in kilograms. For some people it could be 1-3 turkey legs. I got 1 drumstick, as you can see.

2. STEP 2

   

   Start preparing the marinade. There are no secrets or tricks here - you just mix everything in one container. If you wish, you can add something else for aroma and taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Combine honey, soy sauce, mustard, black pepper and salt in a bowl. Add the pressed garlic. Mix everything well until smooth. I got this mixture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the turkey leg well in running water, pluck out any feathers if there are any. Dry well with paper towels.

5. STEP 5

   

   Coat the turkey leg on all sides with the marinade. Place the meat to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Cover it on top with a lid or cling film.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the pickled drumstick along with the marinade into a baking sleeve. Place sprigs of rosemary there. Tie the bag and pierce it in several places to allow steam to escape. Bake the leg in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 1.5 hours. Determine the time and temperature based on your oven.

For dinner I baked a turkey leg in the oven in a sleeve. I really love any meat cooked in the sleeve; it always turns out soft and juicy. For this recipe, I had two drumsticks weighing a total of 1.2 kg. Just enough for four people. For the marinade, I took all the ingredients according to the recipe, replacing the Dijon mustard with regular homemade mustard and adding a spoonful of ketchup. I took twice as much garlic. The drumsticks were marinated in a bag for almost a day in the refrigerator. Turn them over periodically so that the marinade penetrates the meat better. I also baked it for 1.5 hours at 180°. The turkey turned out very flavorful and spicy! Moreover, it is incredibly soft, juicy and tasty. The meat literally falls off the bone! The recipe is simply excellent, I recommend it!
