Ingredients

• 4 packages Lilydale^® Turkey Drumstick
• 2 cans dark Ale
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup (125 mL) brown sugar
• ½ cup (125 mL) honey
• ½ cup (125 mL) BBQ sauce
• 4 tsp (20 mL) cajun spice
• 2 tsp (10 mL) thyme
• 1 bay Leaf, crushed
• 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
• 1 tsp (5 mL) peppercorns
• ¼ cup (60 mL) vegetable oil

Directions

1. Cream together the garlic, brown sugar, honey, and BBQ sauce. Add spices and stir thoroughly. Slowly stir in the 2 cans of beer and mix well.
2. Cut 3-4 slits on both sides of the Lilydale^® Turkey Drumstick, cutting through the skin, and part way into the muscle.
3. Place turkey drumsticks into a freezer bag or pan and pour ¾ of the marinade over the drumsticks. Allow to marinate for a minimum of 6 hours and ideally for 24 hours.
4. Remove drumsticks from marinade, and place onto a foil lined baking tray. Drizzle vegetable oil onto drumsticks and rub in.
5. Place baking tray into a 375°F pre-heated oven and bake covered for 45 minutes. Remove cover, baste with remaining marinade, and cook for another 45 minutes uncovered or until an internal temperature of 165°F has been reached. Broil on high for 5 minutes if a crispier texture is desired.
