I discovered this recipe a long time ago and love it since it uses tasty economical turkey drumsticks. Our family and friends enjoy this savory meat and potatoes meal. The flavorful sauce turns plain drumsticks into a feast. -Alice Balliet, Kane, Pennsylvania

Yield: 4 Servings

25 150 175

Ingredients

4 turkey drumsticks (12 ounces each)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 medium onion, sliced
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
4 large potatoes, peeled, quartered and cooked
2 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 325° In a Dutch oven, brown drumsticks in batches in oil and butter over medium heat; remove from pan. Add tomatoes, onion, bouillon and seasonings; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Return turkey to pan, turning to coat with sauce.
Cover and bake in oven 2 hours, basting with cooking liquid once or twice. Add potatoes and zucchini. Cover and bake 15-20 minutes or until turkey and zucchini are tender. Remove drumsticks and vegetables to a serving dish and keep warm.
Combine the cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into tomato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Spoon over drumsticks and vegetables. Top with parsley. Yield: 4 servings.

This is delicious! My kids and I all loved it. It was easy to fix and the drumsticks (I used chicken instead of turkey) came out very tender and flavorful.
