About Turkey drumstick

Turkey drumsticks are a flavorful and versatile cut of poultry, popular in various cuisines including American, Mediterranean, and European dishes. Known for their rich, savory taste, they consist of tender dark meat surrounded by a thick skin layer. Turkey drumsticks are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. They also contain important nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy production and immune health. However, the skin is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can be less healthy if consumed excessively. Removing the skin reduces calorie and fat content, making the drumstick a leaner option. Turkey drumsticks can be baked, grilled, or slow-cooked for a nutritious, hearty meal. Pairing them with wholesome sides such as vegetables or whole grains ensures a balanced dish that supports overall well-being.
