Food blogger Volodymyr Yaroslavskyi knows exactly how to cook turkey drumsticks in apple sauce. He shared all the details of this process on Instagram.

Ingredients

• turkey drumsticks - 2-3 pieces
• salt - 18 gr
• paprika
• ground coriander
• black pepper
• mustard
• oil

Ingredients for the sauce

• ketchup - 180 g
• apple cider vinegar - 50 ml
• sugar - 50 g
• chili
• dry garlic

Method of preparation

1. Marinate the meat in advance: pierce the drumsticks with a knife and add salt, spices, and a little mustard and oil. Grease the legs well and let them stand in the refrigerator overnight.

2. Prepare the sauce. Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan or frying pan. Bring to a boil.

3. Grill the legs over medium heat (preferably when the heat is already reduced).

4. Brush the drumsticks with the sauce and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

5. Take a layer of strong foil, put a sheet of parchment on it, put the drumstick in and add the sauce. Close it tightly. Put on the grill to cook at low temperature for about 1.5 hours.

6. When the drumstick is ready, take it out of the foil, brown it a little more over low heat, and brush it generously with apple juice several times.
