Instructions

  • Using a knife, make three or four incisions in the turkey drumsticks. Refrigerate in a glass dish.
  • In large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and sauté the onion, ginger and coriander stems for 3 minutes.
  • Add the spices (paprika, garam masala, and turmeric) and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  • Add the yogurt and lemon juice to the cooled mixture and coat the turkey drumsticks with the preparation.
  • Cover the turkey drumsticks with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3 to 24 hours.
  • Place the rack in the upper part of the oven (about 15 cm or 6 inches).
  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Place the turkey drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. Make sure the internal temperature is 75℃ (165℉).
  • Finish cooking under the broiler for 3 minutes to obtain a grilled flavor, typical of cooking in a Tandoor oven.
  • Serve turkey drumsticks on a bed of basmati rice. Garnish with coriander leaves.
