Cheesy Tomato Turkey Drumsticks

Marinating the Turkey Drumsticks In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Rub the marinade all over the turkey drumsticks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for better flavor.

Preparing the Tomato Sauce In a large saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

Cooking the Turkey Drumsticks Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the turkey drumsticks from the marinade and place them in a baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the drumsticks, covering them completely. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with additional tomato sauce if desired. Enjoy!
