Turkey Drumsticks, Raw
Turkey drumsticks are a primal poultry cut consisting of the lower portion of the turkey leg, characterized by dark meat with higher myoglobin content than white meat cuts. This economical cut provides substantial protein while being rich in iron and zinc, though the skin contributes significant saturated fat that can be removed before cooking. The dense connective tissue requires slow, moist-heat preparation methods like braising or roasting to achieve tender results, making it a flavorful option for meal-prepped protein sources.
