Chicken drumsticks and turkey drumsticks, more commonly referred to as turkey legs, have similarities and differences. Some similarities, for instance, are that they both consist mainly of dark meat, come at a budget-friendly price, and have the skin and bone intact. One of the main differences between the two is that turkey legs are much larger than chicken drumsticks. Part of the reason for this is that turkeys are, of course, much larger than chickens, but it's also due to the fact that the turkey leg also contains the thigh of the bird.
