Ingredients

6 turkey drumsticks, 14 to 16 ounces each
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sherry Vinegar-Brown Sugar Glaze, recipe follows

Directions

Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect grilling or heat a gas grill to medium heat. Brush drumsticks with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill over the coals (if using charcoal grill) and grill until golden brown on all sides. Move the drumsticks to the cooler part of the grill, place the lid on and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, brushing with the glaze during the last 20 minutes of cooking. Remove from the grill, brush with more of the glaze and let rest 10 minutes before serving. If using gas, cook at medium heat the whole time with the lid closed after a crust has formed.

Sherry Vinegar-Brown Sugar Glaze:

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup aged sherry vinegar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
4 canned plum tomatoes, drained and chopped
4 cups homemade chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat on the grates of the grill. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until a light golden brown. Add vinegar and cook until reduced by half. Add sugar, paprika, tomatoes and chicken stock and cook until reduced by half and tomatoes are very soft. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan and cook until thickened; season with salt and pepper. Let cool.

Cheap and delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Being layed off has put my family on a STRICT budget and buying whatever is on sale in the meat dept is a huge way to save... money! We got 6 turkey legs for under $4.50 total but I had never cooked a turkey leg! Bobby's reciepe seemed easy and I had most of the ingredients in the pantry. I didn't have Sherry vinegar so I used Basalmic vinegar. I used a can of cilantro/lime tomatoes and passed on adding any additional chilli (spice). My husband and I were afraid that we had ruined Bobbys reciepe but it turned out soooo flavorfull with a nice spicy after taste!!! I won't be afraid to buy turkey legs ever again!!! Read more

BEST THANKSGIVING DINNER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thank you Bobby Flay for ANOTHER excellent meal. The drumsticks were fabulous and your Bar-B-Que sauce fantastic. I also made... the Turkey Breast with Spanish Rub and the Wild Rice Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms with the yummy Piquello Dressing - WOW is what my family said. This dinner was so delicious, the next day I went back to the store and bought 4 more turkey legs and 6 more Portobellos and made them so my daughter could take them home with her. Now that's a testimony of how awesome these receipes are.Read more
