Garlic Baked Turkey Drumsticks

The recipe will yield a juicy turkey with a crispy crust. Turkey drumsticks vary in weight. I had two medium legs weighing about 500g each. There are larger legs, weighing 1 kg or more. If you use a large leg, then you need to bake it for about 1.5 hours in foil and 30 minutes without foil.
