Design and serving of food

Place the drumstick on a platter and serve immediately while it is hot. For greater effect, I put it on the table in its entirety, it makes a strong impression on the guests.

Despite the simplicity of the recipe, the baked turkey leg turned out very tasty, juicy and aromatic.

For 1 drumstick weighing 900-1000g we will need:
Honey 2 tbsp
Mustard 1 tbsp
Garlic 3-4 cloves
Salt pepper

The turkey drumstick needs to be marinated before baking. Wash the drumstick well and dry with a paper towel. Prepare the marinade: add honey, mustard, salt, ground pepper to a bowl, I also add a pinch of herbs. Mix everything well. Peel the garlic, cut the cloves into 3-4 parts. Make punctures in the shin with a knife in several places and stuff it with garlic. Coat the turkey drumstick well with the marinade and leave to marinate for a couple of hours, turning the turkey occasionally.

After the time has passed, place the drumstick on foil (I put the foil with the matte side facing out), pour over the remaining marinade, sprinkle with a pinch of herbs, wrap and put in the oven to bake for 1-1 hours and 20 minutes at a temperature of 210-230 degrees. Everyone's oven is different, and so is the baking temperature. After the baking time has passed, leave the drumstick for another 15-20 minutes in the oven.

Place a few sprigs of thyme and rosemary there.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the bottom of the pan and place in an oven preheated to 200 C until done. Constantly water your feet with the secreted juice. My baking process lasted 1 hour 15 minutes.

Friends called and said that they were with us in 2 hours. And as always, you want to cook quickly and tasty. Luckily for me, my husband brought the turkey, so to speak, “dismembered.” There was no time to marinate, so we made it out as we went.

Mixed salt, pepper, oriental chicken seasoning, 1 tsp. honey, 1 tbsp. l. vodka (since there was no wine). I cut the turkey skin into diamond shapes, made deep punctures with a knife, inserted garlic slices into them and generously coated them with the prepared marinade. I put it in a bag and gave it to my husband for a “massage.”

I greased the baking sheet (or whoever uses what) and placed the “massaged” ham, potatoes and onions around it. ,

added 1 cup of broth, covered with foil and put in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 1.5 hours. When the meat and potatoes are ready, I removed the foil and left it in the oven for another 10-15 minutes. It turned out delicious and not very troublesome.

How to deliciously marinate a turkey?

Before marinating the turkey, you should decide on the choice of meat. Each part of the carcass has its own fat content and different cooking speeds in the oven and in a frying pan. Traditionally, drumsticks and fillets are marinated in kefir, the whole carcass is marinated in citrus juice, and thighs are marinated in soy sauce. Whatever the marinade, the meat must be soaked for at least 2 hours.

Particular care should be taken when choosing meat. Frozen meat should be thawed and only then should you start marinating, and fresh meat should only be blotted with a napkin.
If we are talking about cooking a whole carcass, then it is better to purchase a bird weighing no more than 10 kg. Larger carcasses belong to older birds and have dry and tough meat.
The turkey skin has a dense structure, so for better soaking in the marinade, you can make small cuts on it.
Turkey is often cooked in the oven. It is very simple to marinate a turkey for baking: to add spiciness to the meat, combine chili pepper, rosemary and olive oil, and for tenderness and softness - mayonnaise, lemon juice and ground black pepper.
The best marinade for turkey is one that uses wine, champagne, honey, cognac and herbs; these ingredients have the brightest taste and are successfully combined with each other.
You can simply rub the meat with salt, pepper and garlic, and leave it to soak for several hours.

Turkey marinade for frying

Marinating a turkey for frying means taking into account the specifics of cooking meat in a frying pan and making the marinade as aromatic and rich as possible. In this case, a mixture of oil, garlic, juice and lemon zest is perfect. The oil will soften the dryness of the meat and protect it from burning, while citrus fruits and garlic will add piquancy and aroma.

Marinating a whole turkey in the oven comes with a lot of responsibility. A whole bird is heavy and it is almost impossible to soak it in the traditional way. In this case, it is better to immerse the carcass, pricked with a knife, in a spicy brine and leave it for a day. Thanks to this, it will marinate inside and out, and can be baked unstuffed.

Ingredients:

water - 6.5 l;
salt - 120 g;

The marinade for turkey fillet in the oven must act as a protective shell. This is due to the fact that the breast is prone to drying out, has a delicate texture and should only be soaked in delicate marinades. The best ones are kefir-based.

clove of garlic - 3 pcs.;
dried dill - 20 g;
ground black pepper - 5 g;
bay leaf - 1 pc.

Ingredients:

olive oil - 80 ml;
sugar - 10 g;
wine vinegar - 20 ml;

The most delicious turkey marinade is made from simple ingredients. Especially when it comes to “unpretentious” wings, traditionally soaked in a thick and spicy marinade, where the combination of sour cream and mustard deserves special attention.

Even a simple one can saturate the leg well if it is treated correctly. The latter has dry meat, voluminous bone and a dense film under the skin. Before marinating, the skin is unrolled, the film is cut off, the flesh is pricked and smeared with a marinade of oil and spices that can deeply soak the meat.

Ingredients:

butter - 125 g;
ground paprika - 40 g;
onion - 1 pc.;
clove of garlic - 3 pcs.;
rosemary sprig - 1 pc.;

Grate the onion and chop the garlic. Add to oil and stir.
Peel off the skin of the drumstick with a knife and prick the flesh.
Coat the chicken drumstick with the aromatic mixture and refrigerate for an hour.

- a classic of Asian cuisine. Citrus fruits have always gone well with dietary fresh poultry meat, filling it with an exotic aroma and kilo-sweetness. For greater effect, the marinade is prepared from orange juice and zest, mixing them with oil, which serves as a “conductor” and promotes quick soaking.

oil - 40 ml;
dry white wine - 100 ml;

paprika - 5 g;
vinegar - 40 ml;
oil - 100 ml.

Preparation

Grate the ginger on a fine grater and combine with oil and vinegar.
Add chili, paprika and mix well.
Marinate the fillet in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

The marinade is juicy and soft meat at a minimum cost. The taste and consistency of the sauce allow it to be used as the main component and be limited to a minimum of additions. In this case, the marinade should lightly cover the meat. This is enough to ensure that the turkey is soaked and does not become overly salty.

Ingredients:

soy sauce - 100 ml;
sugar - 10 g;
lemon juice - 40 ml;
clove of garlic - 2 pcs.

Preparation

Whisk soy sauce with lemon juice.

Turkey in honey mustard marinade

Turkey marinade with honey and mustard will make the meat juicy and healthy.

In addition, its specific taste and spiciness help avoid cloying in the marinade.

Ingredients:

honey - 60 g;
grainy mustard - 30 g;
lemon juice - 80 ml;
turmeric - 5 g;
clove of garlic - 2 pcs.

Preparation

In order for the honey to acquire a liquid consistency, steam it.
Add mustard, lemon juice, turmeric and garlic to honey.

The marinade is selected taking into account the cooking technology. It should not contain onions, which can quickly burn and fill the meat with an unpleasant odor. At the same time, it should be simple and convenient, because we are talking about a picnic. In this case, it is better to soak the turkey pieces in mayonnaise, which itself contains the whole range of flavors and keeps the pieces juicy.

: 4 hours.

Ingredients

Turkey drumstick – 2 pcs. (this is about 1.5 kg).
Apple – 2 pcs. (choose either sour varieties or sweet and sour).
Garlic – 2 cloves.
Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp. l. (in this case, you should choose something other than olive, but one without a pronounced odor that can overpower the aroma of the main component).
Lemon juice (use half a lemon).
Herbs (ground allspice, chili pepper, coriander, thyme), salt, seasonings.

Recipe

Most of the time is spent marinating the main product. This makes it possible to soak the meat with aromatic herbs and seasonings. The cooking method has its own characteristics, but they are the ones that make it possible to make the drumstick tender, juicy, as tasty and nutritious as possible. To prepare it, you should:

Prepare the marinade by mixing vegetable oil with lemon juice, adding your favorite spices, herbs, salt, and crushed garlic.
Wash the legs, dry them, remove fluff and feathers using tweezers.
In the legs you need to make small slits along the bone, where garlic, marinade, and salt cut into slices are placed. Marinate for 2 hours.
Place foil on a baking sheet, then place the leg in it and close it like an envelope.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, place the main ingredient there for 1 hour.
Wash, peel and cut the apples into slices.
After the specified time, take out the leg, carefully unfold the foil, add apples to the drumstick, close the foil, and put it all in the oven for 45 minutes.
After the specified time, open the foil and leave the dish to bake for another 10 minutes.

When cooked this way, the apples will give a sour juice, which will mix with the juice from the stem. This aromatic dish does not require any additions in the form of a side dish. You can use fresh or stewed vegetables as a supplement.

Turkey leg in a sleeve with potatoes

Using the recipe below, you can prepare both a main dish and a side dish at the same time. In addition, thanks to this cooking method, the meat is tender and the potatoes are soft and aromatic.

The step-by-step process for cooking a turkey leg in the oven according to the recipe in the sleeve is as follows:

Rub the drumstick well with a mixture of salt and pepper.
Prepare marinade for potatoes. To do this, mix vegetable oil (2 tablespoons), finely chopped parsley and squeezed garlic (2 cloves).
Mix peeled and diced potatoes (5 pieces) with the marinade and transfer to a sleeve. The drumstick also goes here.
The baking sleeve is tied and placed in a preheated oven (180°) for 60 minutes. After a while, you need to open it and continue baking the legs for another 20 minutes.

Cooking secrets

The main secret is the correct choice of the main component. It should be as fresh as possible; there should be no dark spots or weathered areas on its surface.
You need to cook the drumstick in the oven for at least an hour.
It is recommended to constantly add water to the pan so that the main component of the dish does not become dry.
To ensure that the turkey is also tender and juicy after cooking, you should coat the drumstick with oil or fat, and this should be done not on the top, but under the skin of the main product. Instead of fat, you can use sour cream or mayonnaise.
After cooking the drumstick, a lot of juice and fat remains in the mold, which should not be poured out. The liquid can be used to prepare aromatic sauces.
A little sugar or honey added to the marinade makes the dish tasty and juicy.
Each pound of drumstick will require 18 minutes to cook. This formula will help you calculate the exact time that the drumstick will need to sit in the oven.
