Marinating the Turkey Drumsticks 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. 2. Add the turkey drumsticks to the bowl and rub the marinade all over the drumsticks, ensuring they are well-coated. 3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Preparing the Cucumber and Tomato Salad 1. In a bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, chopped parsley, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. 2. Toss the ingredients together until well-combined. 3. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Roasting the Potatoes 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. In a large baking dish, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. 3.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the roasted potatoes and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Preparing the Tomato Sauce 1. In a saucepan, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. 2. Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened. 3. Remove from the heat and set aside.
