simple recipe for preparing turkey drumsticks

Total cooking time: Approximately 120 minutes. Rub the fresh or thawed drumsticks generously with salt, pepper, and paprika and place them in a roasting pan, casserole dish, or similar. Arrange the roughly diced onion and vegetables around the drumsticks. Add a glass of water (approximately 200 ml), brush/baste the drumsticks with 3-4 tablespoons of oil, and then place the roasting pan on the lowest rack in an oven (electric stove) preheated to 200°C. Roast the drumsticks, brushing them occasionally with the liquid from the roasting pan. After approximately 60 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 180°C and roast for another 30 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven, remove the turkey drumsticks, and pour the liquid (with the vegetables) into a saucepan for the gravy. Spread the remaining oil in the roasting pan, add the drumsticks upside down, and bake for another 30 minutes at 200°C until browned and crispy on that side as well. Sauce: Blend the liquid with the onion and vegetables using a magic wand, then dilute with water if desired. I season with a little sweet cream, pepper, and soy sauce. However, there are no limits to your imagination and preference. Bachelor novice tip (yes, I’m one of those too): These last 30 minutes before the drumsticks are cut up and served are perfect for cooking side dishes (e.g., boiled potatoes and green beans). My turkey drumsticks weighed a total of about 1800g. For smaller drumsticks, please reduce the roasting time so they don’t dry out too much.
