Stuffed Turkey drum Sticks

I thought this recipe up while walking down the aisles of the supermarket.
The Turkey Drum sticks are stuffed with a sausage meat farce that is really easy to make at home.
You can make it with  chicken also.

Ingredients for 4:
  • 2 turkey or 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 200 gr minced pork
  • 100 gr stale bread
  • handful of herbs (parsley, sage or oregano)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
Remove the turkey bones and tendons with a sharp knife. Turkey legs have very hard tendons that will not cook, it is important to remove them. If using chicken you will not find any.

Place the meat, skin side down, over the kitchen worktop and cover with cling film.
Using a rolling pin, bash and flatten the meat until it is even and about 2cm thick.
Place all of the drumsticks one next to another on top of a sheet of aluminium foil, forming a square shape. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Make the stuffing:
Whizz the onion, with the bread, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Add a little nutmeg if you like it.
Mix this with the mince meat.
Spread the stuffing over centre of the meat and roll up with the help of the aluminium foil. Shape it into a tight cylinder.
Now you can refrigerate the meat cylinder for up to 24 hours.

Bake in the aluminium foil for 70 minutes at 180ÂșCelsius.

Ideas: bake over some bakers potatoes. Or serve with rice or mash.
