Turkey leg in soy sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To make the meat even more tender, marinate the drumstick in soy sauce. Use garlic and other spices for aroma. Be sure to add a little sugar and lemon juice; these ingredients will balance the sauce's flavor. To allow the marinade to penetrate the drumstick well, make cuts in the meat. The finished dish can be served at the table.
