Garlic Roasted Turkey Drumstick Delight

Oh, what a leg! The aroma of juicy roasted turkey is simply crazy! Turkey meat is not only tasty, but also very healthy: it is low in cholesterol, it is quickly and easily digested, and therefore is considered a dietary product. A baked turkey drumstick is a complete meal for three people; the meat can be served with a vegetable salad, summer vegetable stew, boiled rice or mashed potatoes.

Place the meat in a sleeve, close it tightly on both sides, make small cuts to allow steam to escape, and place in the oven for 1 hour.
