Rinse the shins, pat dry with paper towels. Lubricate first with garlic powder and other spices, then with sour cream.

If you do not have powder, but fresh garlic then grind it, mix with seasonings and sour cream. Rub the turkey drumsticks well on all sides with this marinade, and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

How to cook a turkey drumstick stuffed with mushrooms in the oven is delicious!

Let's turn on the oven first! I don’t know about anyone, but I, carried away by cooking, rarely turn it on on time. Then you have to wait. And immediately we will deal with the cutting of the lower leg. This is not a chicken, you have to work hard here. We will need to very carefully separate the meat from the bone. Why carefully? Because it should be an even piece. After all, then it will have to be started. In the meantime, put the drumstick in the pan, open the tap water, and thoroughly rinse the meat.

Step 1. Rinse the meat well under running water

After the meat has stood in the water for about 5 minutes, take it out of the water and blot it with a paper towel. It must be completely dry. On a cutting board lay out a piece separated from the bone. We will arm ourselves with a chopper (hammer) and gently begin to beat the meat, trying to form an even (both in size and in the degree of beating) piece.

Step 2. Beat the meat, trying to form an even piece

Let's set aside the meat, beaten off with a cloth, to the side, and start making the filling. We have champignons, which many people love very much for their excellent taste, and for their texture, and for such a high degree of usefulness. Let's cut the onion, the more - the better, because there is rarely a lot of it, especially in this kind of dishes. We adjust the mushrooms. Then we need to heat the oil in a preheated frying pan and fry the onion here first. When it is a little reddened, add mushrooms to the pan, pepper to taste.

Step 3. Cut the onion and mushrooms and send to fry

As soon as the mushrooms are fried, pour the cream into the pan, and simmer everything for 10 minutes over high heat. When the contents of the pan satisfy us with their readiness, take out the mass with a slotted spoon. Why skimmer? Because we don't need the butter and cream left there. On a coarse grater, we need to grate the cheese. It is desirable that it is not too fresh, but as firm as possible. Immediately send the cheese to the mushrooms with onions. This will be our filling for the roll. Put the meat on the foil. Let's put stuffing on it.

Step 4. Mix ready-made mushrooms with grated cheese and evenly distribute over the chop

I got two parts from one turkey drumstick, that is, two rolls. I divided the filling so that it was enough for both pieces. But you need to do this in such a way that the roll can be rolled up freely - without tearing, placing all the contents in it. I involuntarily got something that looked like the turkey drumstick itself.

Step 5. Roll up the roll

Have you already figured out how to bake rolls? Of course, in foil! This is not the first time I have baked meat in foil in the oven. I am very satisfied every time. First, it never burns. Secondly, all juices are preserved, which can then be used in different ways (especially if you mix everything with the rest in the pan). Even just pouring over the finished roll is nice. In a word, it remains for us to wrap the finished rolls very tightly in foil.

Step 6. Wrap the rolls with baking foil

In this form, the rolls cannot be sent to the oven. Will burn. Some form is needed. The huge raft, which was in the gas stove and which, as a rule, is in all gas stoves, is clearly not suitable for this purpose. What to do? Take a frying pan? Not that option. Still a lot of space. I have this aluminum mold in stock. I hoisted both rolls there. I poured some water into the mold. After checking the oven, I sent it all to bake. Do not disturb the meat for the next thirty minutes. But try to determine by smell whether the water has boiled away or not. Otherwise, add a little. Step 8. Cutaway Roll
