Big chicken

The idea of turkey for me when I was younger was Christmas and Christmas Eve feasts where we'd have a whole roasted turkey filled with potato stuffing, ready to be carved and then fed to the hungry mob, yours truly included. There would always be cranberry sauce and a roast leg of lamb. Lets not forget the creamy warm potato salad and garlic bread. Oh Christmas.

But it's the middle of April and Christmas is still eight months away (yes, I counted). Doesn't mean that I can't have turkey now! It was on sale and I thought why not?


Simple Roast Turkey


Serves MANY meals


Ingredients:
1 good-sized turkey drumstick
4 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
Herbs and pepper to taste

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Clean and remove all visible fat from drumstick. Season with Worcestershire Sauce, herbs and pepper. Roast uncovered for approximately 30 minutes. Check to make sure that the turkey does not dry out. Cover, reduce temperature to 150 degrees and continue to roast for another 20 minutes or until completely cooked and flesh falls off the bone. Serve.
