I was extremely impressed with this recipe. It was absolutely moist and amazing for taste. It was soo much better then trying to make a soup out of the legs. I am definetely going to keep this and buy more legs. Thanks for sharing

Cooked these up last night for dinner, they were very tasty and tender.(I had 6 drumsticks), I followed the exact cooking times and method except I used bbq sauce instead of the mixture. We had cole slaw and cornbread to round off the meal. Can't wait to make this again, the family loved it!! Thanks papergoddess

I couldn't hear myself think with all the Mmms...going around. Even my DS who turned his nose up at this had to agree that it was good, tough thing for him to admit! Thanks papergoddess!

This makes the turkey sooo good! Everyone loved it. I fixed mine in a crockpot. I cooked the turkey in the butter for 2 1/2 hours then I put on the sauce for another 3 hours.
