You‘re all probably sick and tired of our Turkey recipes now and we are actually having sometime different today. But for £4.62 we got 4 meals out of one Turkey leg, not bad even for us!

So Turkey drumstick…. We’ve roasted them previously, we’ve curried them, we’ve casseroled them. “How about a slightly different version of McKing Nuggets (Name mangled for obvious reasons)?” Was the question we asked. The result? Was a combination of our Onion Bhaji recipe with roasted cubes of Turkey Drummer inside…...

(7) Heat the fryer to 170c.

We served ours with home made Marie Rose sauce and a dressed salad made from Chard, Ruby Chard, Chives, Fennel and home pickled Beetroot. We’re very fortunate that now Spring is here we have various open “Green York” gardens where we can gather fresh greens and herbs. Summer is going to be a healthy time for us this year…..
