Turkey drumsticks in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The cooking method is quite simple: the meat needs to be marinated and then baked in the oven. The turkey turns out juicy yet diet-friendly. As a side dish for the drumsticks, we'll prepare vegetables. For marinating, you can use any spices and herbs to taste. The hardest part is waiting, as the bird takes about two hours to cook, and your mouth starts watering at the first aromas coming from the oven. Let's get started. The finished dish can be served at the table.
