Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make turkey drumstick in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The size and weight of the drumsticks depends on the age of the bird. I had 2 drumsticks weighing about 500g each. You can replace it with one large drumstick weighing about 1 kg.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the turkey legs well in running water and pull out the feathers, if any. Dry well with paper towels.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the orange thoroughly and rub it with a brush, as we will add it along with the peel. Cut the orange into slices.

Step 4

Step 4
Combine honey and soy sauce in a bowl and stir until smooth. You can use any honey. I have buckwheat.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the pan on medium heat. Add cumin, coriander and suneli hops. Stir until a strong aroma appears. How to choose a frying pan, read the article on this topic. Link at the end of the recipe. Instead of individual spices, you can use a pre-made turkey spice blend (or chicken in a pinch). But keep in mind that the finished mixture already contains salt and pepper, so you need to add additional salt/pepper to the meat with caution.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour in the beer. You can take any beer, dark or light. I have dark beer.

Step 7

Step 7
Place turkey drumsticks in skillet. Place orange slices on the sides. The pan should be large enough to fit the drumsticks.

Step 8

Step 8
Simmer everything covered over medium heat until most of the beer has evaporated. Turn the drumsticks every 10 minutes so that they are evenly soaked in the marinade.

Step 9

Step 9
At the end of the turkey drumstick, coat all sides with soy-honey sauce and continue cooking until golden brown.

Step 10

Step 10
Place the finished juicy turkey legs on a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, fresh orange slices and serve. Bon appetit!
