Root Beer Braised Turkey Drumsticks
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the drumsticks and pat them dry. Make 2 slice marks.
- 2
Prepare your vegetables - dice up your carrot, celery and onion.
- 3
Take a deep but wide sauce pan and get it hot. Add a little bit of oil and put the garlic in at the same time. Then place the drumsticks in to sear. Turn them over when golden and place a fresh Sage leaf on each. When the other side is golden, remove from the pan and set aside.

Without removing the garlic or cleaning up the pan, take the vegetables and add them to the pan and cook about 3-5 minutes until translucent. In a separate bowl mix together with a whisk all the liquid ingredients and add to the pan. Add the rest of the sage leaves and bay leaves as well.
- 5
When the sauce and vegetables come to a simmer, add the drumsticks back to the pan. When it comes to a boil, lower to a medium/low flame and allow the turkey to braise for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours or until fork tender. The drumsticks should be turned every 30-40 minutes or so. If the sauce diminishes you may add a cup of water to it and mix so the sauce doesn’t dry out.
- 6
Remove the drumsticks and place them in a Pyrex. Take the sauce and strain out the vegetables as you only want the sauce itself.
- 7
You may cover it and put it in the oven to keep warm or rewarm. Enjoy!

Traditional Roasted Turkey Traditional Roasted Turkey
I've been roasting turkeys for several years now, and not a just on thanksgiving. While I will say that smoking a turkey is the absolute best you can get (yes, even over frying), sometimes you want those traditional autumn flavors of sage and thyme with salty crackly turkey skin that comes from a traditional roasting process. I use a dry brine and place a compound butter under the skin to give the meat an extra layer of herbed flavor. The turkey is spatchcocked, which not only cuts down the cooking time and exposes the skin for crisping that typically get soggy with a whole bird roast, but it allows the turkey to lay flat so you can fit other things in the oven while it's cooking.
