Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 30 min

Step 1:
How to bake a juicy shin? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dish. Turkey drumstick can take one large weighing about 1 kg or two small 500 g.
Step 2:
Peel the garlic and cut into petals.
Step 3:
Wash and dry the turkey drumstick. Make deep punctures in the meat with a knife and stuff the leg with garlic.
Step 4:
Rub the shin with salt and pepper on all sides.
Step 5:
Put the turkey leg in a baking dish and brush the surface with cream. Place the drumstick in a preheated 220 ° C oven and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6:
Then turn the leg over to the other (non-baked) side and smear with the remaining cream. Return the shin to the oven for browning on the other side.
Step 7:
When a golden, ruddy crust appears on the surface, pull out the turkey mold and spread the rosemary sprigs on the sides of the leg.
Step 8:
Cover the mold with foil or lid (if there is one) and Return the leg to the oven, reduce the heat to 180 ° C and bake for about 50 minutes until cooked. ! So that the crispy crust does not stick to the foil when you unwrap the finished meat, try not to let the foil touch the shin itself. And also lubricate the very inner surface of the foil with vegetable oil.
Step 9:
Serve the finished shin to the table hot. Any side dish will do. Bon appetit!

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

So that the oven has time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking).

Pierce the meat with a knife: if the knife enters easily and the light juice flows, then it is ready, if the juice is pink or red, you need to continue cooking.

According to the same recipe, you can cook a whole turkey and its individual parts, as well as replace the turkey with chicken. You just need to take into account that the amount of cream may need more or less.
