Questions about Turkey drumstick with skin
How do you roast a turkey drumstick with skin so it turns crisp?
Pat the skin dry, rub it with oil, salt and pepper, then roast at 200 °C for about 45–55 minutes, turning once. Check the thickest part away from the bone reaches 75 °C; rest it for 10 minutes before serving.
How can you tell when a turkey drumstick is cooked through?
Use a food thermometer in the thickest part, without touching the bone: it should read 75 °C. The meat should also pull away from the bone easily, but colour alone is not a reliable test.
How much meat do you get from one turkey drumstick?
A whole drumstick can weigh around 356 g, but that includes the bone, so the edible portion is much smaller. For a meal, allow one drumstick per person if it is the main dish.
How should you store cooked turkey drumstick leftovers?
Remove the meat from the bone, cool it promptly and refrigerate it in a covered container; use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout, adding a splash of stock if you want to keep the meat moist.
What goes well with turkey drumstick?
Serve it with roast potatoes, gravy and seasonal vegetables, or shred the meat into a pie, soup or curry. The dark meat also works well in sandwiches with mustard or cranberry sauce.
Can you use turkey drumstick instead of chicken drumstick?
Yes: use it in the same casseroles, braises and roasts, but allow more time because a turkey drumstick is usually larger. For a smaller portion, chicken drumstick with skin has 9.2 g fat per 100 g, compared with 6.8 g in turkey drumstick with skin.
Is turkey drumstick with skin fattier than the meat without skin?
Yes. Removing the skin before eating lowers the fat: turkey drumstick meat has 3.97 g fat per 100 g, compared with 6.8 g in the skin-on drumstick.
