Turkey drumsticks with garlic baked in foil

According to the recipe, a juicy turkey with a crispy crust will turn out. Turkey drumsticks are different in weight. I had two medium-sized legs weighing about 500 g each. There are larger legs, weighing from 1 kg and more. If you use a large leg, then you need to bake it for about 1.5 hours in foil and 30 minutes without foil.
