Whats wrong with a caveman drumstick?

[Du1point8]

Every time I go to supermarkets I see the caveman drumstick (aka turkey) and get the urge to buy one.

Seems very cheap way of buying turkey meat (sub £2) and great on the BBQ or roasted.

So whats not to like and why is this meat always so underrated by people, if cooked correctly its not like its tough.

Think there was a topic on here recently about Turkey legs. For £2 it is worth trying one but I can promise you will never do it again. I learnt the hard way having wasted more than £2 on one in Epcot at Disney.

Like you said, it's cheap and if cooked properly can be very nice. I'd marinade one for at least 24 hours, then slow cook and finish off on the BBQ. That will ensure tender, flavoursome meat.

Turkey legs do have massive tendons in them though, which makes them a bit fiddly to eat.

This is a very USA thread. That said I'd say 'Turkey' sounds a lot like 'Turdy'. You do the math.

Thus endeth the lesson.

I think the winning answer was "Boil for three hours. Remove meat. Feed to dog."

Tried one, was going very well... then element blew in electric oven (oven fan on, light on, just not getting hot)...

Looks like oven decided for me that it was not to be and suicided after I tried to oven cook the marinaded meat.

So stripped it and fried up the pinkish (bit to much pink for my liking) meat and was nice.

Now need to find what I can only assume is a heating element now for a smeg cooker.
