Our pasture-raised turkey drumsticks are hearty, flavorful, and perfect for slow roasting, smoking, or braising. Raised on a corn- and soy-free diet and air-chilled for quality, they're a satisfying cut with plenty of rich, dark meat.
What makes our turkey drumsticks special
Raised outdoors on pasture in fresh air and sunshine, our turkeys are fed a corn- and soy-free ration and raised with care.
Our turkey is air-chilled after processing rather than submerged in a water bath, helping preserve its natural flavor without absorbing excess water.
Turkey drumsticks are considerably larger than chicken drumsticks, with rich, flavorful dark meat that does especially well with slow cooking. They're a great choice for smoking, braising, or roasting until the meat is tender enough to pull from the bone.
Storage & Shelf Life
Keep frozen until ready to use. Turkey drumsticks can be stored frozen for up to 9 months for best quality.
Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking. Once thawed, cook within 1–2 days.
How to cook turkey drumsticks
Pat drumsticks dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and your favorite herbs. Place in a covered roasting dish with a little broth or water.
Roast at 325°F for approximately 2–3 hours, depending on their size, until the meat is tender. Remove the cover toward the end of cooking if you'd like the skin to brown.
Turkey must reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F. For especially tender dark meat, drumsticks can be cooked to 175–185°F or higher.
Turkey drumsticks are also excellent smoked low and slow, braised with vegetables, or cooked until the meat can be shredded for soups and sandwiches.
