About Turkey drumstick
A turkey drumstick is the lower leg portion of a turkey, with dark meat surrounding a long bone and typically covered by skin. The raw meat is pink to reddish; cooked meat is darker and has a savoury flavour. Its texture depends on the bird and cooking method.
Drumsticks are commonly roasted, braised, grilled, or smoked and are sold fresh or frozen, sometimes already cooked or seasoned. A whole drumstick includes bone and often skin, so it should be distinguished from boneless meat or from a serving measured after cooking.
