Article: Turkey drumsticks require almost an hour on the grill, and it's important to maintain a steady heat of about 300F (149C) so they don't burn or end up undercooked. Use a grill thermometer to test the heat of your grill. Sprinkle the meat all over with salt and pepper. If you want to add spices and other seasonings, spread mixed spices all over each drumstick to coat the skin. Try these delicious combinations: For hot and spicy drumsticks: combine 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt For herb-encrusted drumsticks: combine 1/2 teaspoon (.4 g) dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon (.7 g) dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt Lay them on a part of the grill that isn't getting a stream of direct heat, since this will cook them too quickly. This will ensure they cook evenly on all sides. Keep going as each side turns golden brown and crispy. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The drumsticks are ready when the internal temperature reaches 180F (82C).
