Ingredients

2-1/2 lbs TURKEY DRUMETTES, or small turkey drumsticks

2 Cans (12 oz each) corn with red and green peppers, drained

1 Can (16 oz) stewed tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with juices

2 tbsp minced dried onion

1 to 2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions

TIP: Use kitchen scissors to chop stewed tomatoes while they are still in the can.

GRILL METHOD

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking. Brown turkey drummettes over hot coals about 5 to 7 minutes per side, if desired.

Cut 4 (18-inch) squares of heavy duty aluminum foil. In large bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, onion, cumin and garlic powder. Divide mixture between aluminum foil squares; top each with a drummette. Close packets securely, so juices will not leak.

Grill packets over hot coals, turning every 15 minutes, for 1 hour or until drummette juices run clear when pierced deeply with a fork. To serve, unwrap and remove drummette to plate and top with vegetables.

CONVENTIONAL OVEN METHOD

Follow the above instructions, (step #2), but do not brown the drummettes. Arrange the packets in a shallow baking pan, and bake at 350 degrees F. for 1 hour.

Open packets and bake additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until drummettes are brown and juices run clear when pierced deeply with a fork.
