Roasted Turkey Drumsticks
Delicious, fall of the bone Roasted Turkey Drumsticks that are so easy to make! These turkey drumsticks take about 2 hours to make, from start to finish, but don't worry, you don't need to do much! Set them in your roaster and let your oven do the work!
Ingredients
- 4 small turkey drumsticks
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 4 celery stalks chopped into thirds
- 2 onions quartered
- 1/2 tomato chopped into large pieces
- 4 carrots cut in half
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons allspice (whole, not ground)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 375F. In a large roaster, place chopped celery, carrots, onions, and tomato. Season with salt and pepper.
- Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper and ground sage and place them over the vegetables. Drizzle everything with the olive oil.
- Add the cinnamon, bay leafs and allspice to the roaster. Add the water to the roaster and place the lid on.
- Roast in the oven at 375F for 30 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350F and roast for one hour.
- Removing the lid from the roaster and continue roasting for 15 minutes. Take temperature with a meat thermometer. If the turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 175F and juices run clear, they are ready. If not, continue to roast until cooked through.
- To brown the turkey drumsticks, broil on high until they are golden brown. I recommend removing them from the liquid at this point and turning them to ensure all sides are browned and crispy. [Note: keep an eye on them as they will brown quickly.]
- Optional: Slice the carrots into medallions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve on a platter along with the roasted drumsticks.
