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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
