Turkey Drumsticks - 2 ct - 2.5 lb
Delicious, dark-meat drummies for those of us that love dark meat. You get two raw turkey drumsticks in a 2.5 lb pack, raised regeneratively and harvested the way nature intended. Juicy and flavorful, and these babies are so good.
- No added hormones, no antibiotics, no fillers. Just purely raised meat.
- Soy-Free, and labeled a Low Histamine Product
- Both drumsticks come together in a single package, not as two separate packs
- Keeps up to 24 months in the freezer
These come raw and uncooked, so cook them before eating. Thaw them in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Once they're thawed, they keep 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
Drumsticks carry more connective tissue than breast meat, so they do best with a slow roast or a braise that gives the meat time to turn tender. Cook turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F.
At North Star Bison, we raise meat with no shortcuts and no additives.
Common Questions
Where can I buy turkey drumsticks raised without antibiotics or added hormones?
Our North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks are raised with no added hormones, no antibiotics and no fillers. Our turkeys are raised regeneratively and harvested the way nature intended, so what you get is purely raised meat. Each pack holds two raw drumsticks and weighs 2.5 lb.
Are turkey legs better than turkey breast?
If you love dark meat, our North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks are the cut for you. We made them for people who would rather have a turkey leg than breast meat. Drumsticks are working muscle, so they carry more fat, connective tissue and myoglobin than breast meat. That gives them a deeper flavor and makes them much harder to dry out. Breast meat is leaner and milder, and it overcooks quickly once it goes past about 165°F. Our drummies are juicy and full of flavor, and each pack gives you two of them.
How do you cook turkey drumsticks so they're tender and not tough?
Turkey drumsticks like ours from North Star Bison get tender when you cook them past the minimum safe temperature and give them time. Dark meat is safe at 165°F, but its connective tissue breaks down best at around 175–185°F. Braising, slow roasting at a moderate oven temperature, or smoking all work well. Each leg also has stiff tendons that are easier to pull out once the meat is cooked. Our drumsticks come raw and are stored frozen, so plan ahead. They need 12–24 hours in the refrigerator to thaw, and you have to cook them before eating.
Are North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks raw or precooked?
Our North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks are sold raw and uncooked. They are not ready to eat, and you need to cook them before eating. They are stored frozen, so thaw them for 12–24 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
Is the 2.5 lb pack of turkey drumsticks one package or two?
The 2.5 lb pack of our North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks is one package holding two drumsticks. The 2.5 lb is the size of the whole package, so it does not describe each drumstick or two separate packages. We also sell the same drumsticks in 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5 and 4 lb two-packs, and those are separate items from this one.
How long do North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks keep in the freezer and fridge, and how long do they take to thaw?
Our North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks keep for 24 months in the freezer. Once they're thawed, you have 5–7 days to cook them from the refrigerator. Thawing takes 12–24 hours in the refrigerator, so move the pack from the freezer to the fridge the day before you plan to cook.
Are North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks soy-free and low histamine?
Yes. Soy-Free is one of the listed claims for our North Star Bison Turkey Drumsticks, and we label them a Low Histamine Product.
