They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To add a smoky flavor to the turkey drumsticks, you can grill them over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side. - For a crispy coating, make sure to dredge the turkey drumsticks in flour before dipping them in the buttermilk mixture. - Serve the turkey drumsticks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn on the cob.
