Ingredients for Manuka Honey Glazed Turkey Legs

  • Four, 13-ounce turkey drumsticks, bone-in
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of thyme, dried
  • 3 tablespoons of butter, melted
  • ¼ cup of Manuka honey
  • ¼ cup of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sage, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons of basil, dried
  • 1 tablespoon of rosemary, chopped

Directions for Manuka Honey Glazed Turkey Legs

  1. To begin, allow your drumsticks time to thaw in some hot water before preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place your drumsticks on a clean, dry work surface, perhaps a cutting board or a countertop. Coat the drumsticks with olive oil, using between one and two teaspoons for each piece. Season them with pepper, salt, and thyme before rubbing in.
  3. Move the drumsticks to a fairly spacious baking pan before drizzling them with the rest of your olive oil. Roast the drumsticks uncovered for about two hours.
  4. In a small bowl, add the melted butter, the Manuka honey, the soy sauce, the sage, the basil, and the rosemary, mixing them well until you get an even consistency.
  5. Coat your now roasted drumsticks using the honey-herb mixture. Use aluminum foil to cover your baking pan before returning it to your oven, roasting on the same temperature for another 15 minutes.
