Turkey Drumsticks Perfecto
Description
These turkey drumsticks are brined, seasoned with butter and black pepper, then oven-roasted with broth just like those served at a Renaissance Fair.
Ingredients
•
3 small turkey drumsticks
•
1/4 cup salt
•
1 cup chicken broth
•
2 tablespoons butter, melted
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
Directions
1
Put drumsticks in a large bowl with enough water to cover. Stir salt into water to dissolve. Brine drumsticks in the refrigerator for 2 hours; drain. Rinse drumsticks with clean water and pat dry.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3
Pour broth into a roasting pan. Brush melted butter over drumsticks to coat; season with black pepper. Lay drumsticks in broth. Cover the roasting pan with a lid.
4
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 drumstick near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
