Ingredients

  • 3 small turkey drumsticks
  • ¼ cup salt
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Put drumsticks in a large bowl with enough water to cover. Stir salt into water to dissolve. Brine drumsticks in the refrigerator for 2 hours; drain. Rinse drumsticks with clean water and pat dry.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 3
Pour broth into a roasting pan. Brush melted butter over drumsticks to coat; season with black pepper. Lay drumsticks in broth. Cover the roasting pan with a lid.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the drumstick near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
