Turkey Drumsticks With Potatoes and Zucchini image

The turkey can be replaced with chicken pieces if desired, adjust cooking time. If you like some heat add in some Tabasco sauce to taste. This recipe takes a bit of cooking time, but well worth the wait! You can add in a can of sliced or whole drained mushrooms too!

1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 -2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 -2 teaspoon dried basil
