Web turkey drumsticks are a flavorful alternative to chicken.

Baked turkey drumsticks. Season with salt and pepper. Pat the turkey legs dry with paper towels. It’s an easy main for smaller thanksgiving and christmas gatherings.

When done, make gravy with pan juices adding more chicken broth if needed. This will allow the turkey drumsticks to cook evenly, and let you save the drippings. Fit a rimmed roasting pan with a rack and spray the rack with avocado oil.

I got these from my local grocery store. You can test if the legs have finished cooking by using a meat thermometer. Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper and ground sage and place them over the vegetables.

In a large roaster, place chopped celery, carrots, onions, and tomato. Stick rosemary needles under the skin so that they hold better and don't fall out during roasting. Lightly and evenly season the meat, brush it with oil and put it in the fridge to marinate for at least half an hour, or overnight if you.

Add the cinnamon, bay leafs and allspice to the roaster. Drizzle everything with the olive oil. Place them on the roasting rack and lightly spray them with avocado oil.

2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more; I guess i can’t write about this recipe without thinking of the first time i’ve ever had turkey legs before. Smear butter onto meat on both sides of the leg.
