TURKEY DRUMSTICKS IN THE CROCK POT



Turkey Drumsticks in the Crock Pot image

The grocery here often has fresh turkey legs and they're very inexpensive. I make this recipe using 4 or 6, however many happen to be in the package. I then take the meat off the bone and use it in recipes that call for cooked chicken or turkey.

And the kids loved it too!

ROASTED TURKEY DRUMSTICKS WITH STAR ANISE AND SOY SAUCE



Roasted Turkey Drumsticks With Star Anise and Soy Sauce image

Back in 2011, Melissa Clark revisited the turkey. "Just because we don't think to make it the star of a meal in May doesn't mean turkey won't taste as good as it did in November," she wrote. She took several approaches: cooking the parts separately, then braising them slowly; simmering ground turkey with pancetta for a ragù; and this one, where turkey drumsticks are coated in a mixture featuring soy sauce, honey and star anise, then cooked in a 400-degree oven. It's a worthy weekend meal, or one for a weekday when work gets out early. Pair it with white rice, to sop up the reserved marinade.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and green parts)
3 tablespoons peeled, grated fresh ginger
8 whole star anise
8 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
5 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
4 large turkey drumsticks (about 6 pounds)
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, honey, sherry, scallions, ginger, star anise and garlic. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Whisk in the oil. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat the drumsticks dry; season with salt and pepper and place on prepared pan. Brush turkey all over with half the remaining marinade (leave as much of the solids in the saucepan as possible). Scatter star anise over drumsticks (some will fall on baking pan, and that's fine). Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Roast drumsticks, turning and basting with more of the marinade occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drizzle with reserved marinade before serving.

"BLUE THUNDER" TURKEY DRUMSTICKS



Provided by Food Network

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 turkey drumsticks
Marinade:
2 cups cranberries
2 to 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 to 5 fresh sage leaves
10 to 15 whole allspice
10 to 15 whole cloves
1 whole cinnamon stick
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon onion juice
1 tablespoon garlic juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1 tablespoon chile sauce (recommended: Siracha)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 gallon beer, divided
2 applewood smoking chips (recommended: Bradley Apple Bisquettes)
2 to 3 gallons peanut oil

Steps:

  • For the turkey: Remove the tendons from each drumstick (or ask your local butcher to do it for you): With a flexible boning knife, make a cut at the knob end of the drumstick to separate the tendons from the bone. Locate the major tendon that resembles a cooked piece of fettuccini and follow it up the drumstick with your boning knife to cut it out. Repeat for the 3 to 4 other major tendons. Using a pair of pliers, grab and pull out the minor tendon that resembles a cooked piece of spaghetti. Repeat for the 5 to 6 other minor tendons. Scrape the boning knife against the bone to clean up any leftover meat.
  • For the marinade: Place the cranberries, rosemary, sage, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a large plastic container and add 1 to 2 cups boiling water just to cover. Allow to steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • For the brine: In a large bowl, dissolve the salt with 1 to 2 cups boiling water, whisking until the salt has dissolved.
  • For the injection mixture: In a 16-ounce pint glass, combine the garlic juice, onion juice, hot sauce, chile sauce, Worcestershire sauce and stir. Fill the glass with beer and stir.
  • Add the marinade mixture to the brine mixture, and then pour in the remaining beer to cool it down.
  • Inject each drumstick a couple of times with the injection mixture using a meat injector. Place the drumsticks in the marinade and add 1 gallon cold water to cover. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the smoker to 250 to 300 degrees F.
  • Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place in the smoker. Place the applewood chips in the smoker and smoke for 30 to 40 minutes. When they are done, they will have a light golden color and an internal temperature of 110 to 120 degrees F.
  • Fill a turkey fryer with the peanut oil until it reaches the maximum capacity line. Light the burner and heat the oil until it is between 340 to 360 degrees F.
  • Carefully drop each turkey drumstick into the oil and fry until the internal temperature of the drumstick registers 160 to 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel on a wire cooling rack. Allow a resting time of 10 minutes before serving.
