How To Debone A Turkey Drumstick?

Step 1: Debone and Butterfly the Drumsticks

The drumsticks must first be deboned and all of the unpleasant tendons removed. Cut through the skin surrounding the drumstick’s pointed end. To cut through all of the tendons under the skin, use a pair of sharp scissors. Find the inside of the leg and make a long, shallow cut through the flesh there. You will find one thick tendon running along the bone. Cut away the connective tissue to free the tendon. To make the flesh lie flat, cut down either side of the bone with your scissors. Scrape the flesh off the bone and toward the joint using the edge of your paring knife. To release the bone, cut around the joint with your scissors.

Separate the Rib Cage

Slice down the right side of the turkey rib cage with the tip of the boning knife, separating the meat from the bone. Be careful not to cut through the backside breast skin.

Step 3: Prepare the Stuffing

Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl for the stuffing and cover with enough champagne. While you continue with the other filling ingredients, let these stand. Slice 2 canned pineapple rounds into 8 wedges each. Measure out the salami, dried sage, and dried brioche cubes. Put all of these in a mixing bowl, then add the champagne and cranberries. Mix everything well, then set it aside for 30 minutes.
