Turkey drumstick with garlic in the sleeve

Oh, what a leg! The aroma of juicy roasted turkey is simply crazy! Turkey meat is not only tasty, but also very healthy: it is low in cholesterol, it is quickly and easily digested, and therefore is considered a dietary product. A baked turkey drumstick is a complete meal for three people; the meat can be served with a vegetable salad, summer vegetable stew, boiled rice or mashed potatoes.
