Walkaway Turkey Drumsticks Recipes

Steps:

• Put turkey drumsticks in a large bowl with enough water to cover. Stir salt into water to dissolve.
• Brine drumsticks in refrigerator for 2 hours; drain. Rinse drumsticks with clean water and pat dry.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Brush butter over drumsticks to coat; season with black pepper.
• Pour chicken broth into a roasting pan. Lay turkey legs into the broth. Place a lid on the roasting pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• For the turkey legs: Set the turkey legs on a baking sheet and wrap the bone end with foil. Mix the paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, thyme, garlic powder and pepper together in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the turkey legs liberally. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Roast the turkey legs until golden brown with an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting. Brush the legs with the honey and return to the oven to broil until the skin is caramelized, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• For the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce: Meanwhile, mix the BBQ sauce, honey, hot sauce and soy sauce together in a bowl. Serve alongside the turkey legs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the turkey legs; mix well.
• Place the turkey legs on a rack in a roasting pan and brush evenly with the oil mixture. Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the skin is golden brown and no pink remains, basting occasionally.
