Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 head garlic peeled
- salt to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 skin on turkey drumsticks
- 600 g baby potatoes
- 280 g asparagus trimmed
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven at 275°F.
-
Mix the turkey ingredients together (butter, cooking oil, maple syrup, vinegar, thyme, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper) in a baking dish to create a sauce. Put the turkey drumsticks on the baking dish, pierce with a fork, and coat drumsticks with the sauce to distribute evenly on and under the skin.
-
Put the dish in the oven and bake for 4 full hours. Reserve the cooking fats when done.
-
Put the potatoes in a pot, cover with water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain. Cut potatoes in half and set aside.
-
Once the drumsticks are cooked, golden and fork-tender, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then shred the meat and keep warm.
-
In a hot skillet set at medium-high heat, pour a small amount of the reserved cooking fats and cook the potatoes until golden and tender. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, cook the asparagus 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
-
Assemble your plates with turkey, potatoes and asparagus.
