About Turkey drumstick skin on

Turkey drumstick with skin on is a flavorful and nutrient-dense poultry option often enjoyed in various cuisines, particularly American, European, and Middle Eastern. It consists of dark turkey meat, which is higher in fat and richer in flavor compared to white meat, along with its crispy, golden skin when cooked. Turkey drumsticks are an excellent source of protein, providing essential amino acids for muscle repair and overall body function. They also contain important nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, the skin is relatively high in fat, including saturated fat, which may not be ideal for heart health if consumed in large amounts. Roasting or grilling are popular preparation methods that enhance its natural taste while minimizing added fats. Turkey drumsticks are a versatile ingredient, pairing well with vegetables, grains, and spices in hearty, comforting dishes or festive meals.
