Turkey Drumstick with Skin, Cooked
A turkey drumstick with skin is a dark meat cut from the lower leg section, known for its robust flavor and moist texture when cooked. The skin becomes crispy during roasting or grilling while protecting the meat's juiciness, though it contributes significantly to the total fat content compared to skinless preparations. This protein-rich cut provides essential minerals like iron and zinc, with the collagen in connective tissues breaking down into gelatin during cooking for tender results. While popular as a hearty portion in holiday meals, the skin-on preparation adds approximately 50% more calories than skinless turkey options.
