Preparation
Step 1
How to bake a turkey drumstick in a roasting bag? First, measure out the ingredients you need. Turkey legs come in different sizes, so keep that in mind - I indicated the amount in kilograms. In pieces, that may be 1-3 turkey legs for some people. I used 1 drumstick. You can bake chicken the same way. If you’re using frozen meat, thaw it first.
Step 2
Make the marinade. There are no secrets here - you simply mix everything in one container. If you want, add something else and adjust the proportions to your taste.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, mustard, black pepper, and salt. Add garlic pressed through a garlic press. Mix well until smooth. It’s best to use runny honey. If your honey has crystallized, warm it gently in a water bath to make mixing easier.
Step 4
Rinse the turkey drumstick well under running water. Pull out any remaining feathers, if there are any. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Coat the turkey drumstick on all sides with the marinade. Refrigerate and marinate overnight. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
Step 6
Transfer the marinated drumstick together with the marinade into a roasting bag. Add rosemary sprigs if desired. Tie the bag and pierce it in a few places so steam can escape. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C / 356°F for about 1.5 hours. Adjust the time and temperature to your oven.
