EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Take a few minutes to remove the skin before cooking the drumsticks. First, less fat will form on top of the sauce during cooking. Second, the skin would not become golden brown because it will be simmering in the sauce. Third, the flavor of the plum sauce will cling to the turkey meat instead of to the skin.

Plum sauce is a sweet-and-sour sauce made from plums, apricots, sugar and seasonings. You can find it in the Asian-foods section of the supermarket or at an Asian grocery store. If plum sauce isn't available, use apricot or cherry preserves and it still will be delicious!

Keep to the Asian theme by serving this plum-good turkey with crisply cooked pea pods. A fresh salad of assorted melon-cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon-drizzled lightly with your favorite fruit salad dressing makes a light yet satisfying meal.
