  • Rinse the meat well under running water and pat it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix all the spices and seasonings the dish needs — salt, ground black pepper (freshly ground is best), dried rosemary, and a little ground thyme. You can also add any other spices that go well with poultry. Stir the mix well, then rub it thoroughly all over the skin of the turkey drumsticks, turning them to coat every side. Peel the onion, rinse and dry it, then dice it or cut it into half-rings. Rinse the celery under cold water and pat it dry on a paper towel; strip off any leaves and slice it into thin rounds. Set the slow cooker to "Fry" or "Bake," add the oil, and brown the seasoned drumsticks until golden, turning them to color all over. Leave the lid open for this — browning goes much faster that way. The time depends on your appliance's wattage and the size of the pieces. Once the meat is browned, add the chopped onion and celery to the pot. Pour in the water and stir. Close the lid, set the timer for an hour, and keep cooking on the same setting. If your slow cooker is over 450 W, cook for half an hour and then switch to "Stew." When the meat is done, transfer it to a plate, leaving the cooking juices in the pot. Separately, stir the cornstarch with water until smooth. Pour the slurry into the pot and stir it into the juices. Select "Cook/Boil" and set the timer for 5–10 minutes, depending on your appliance. Serve the turkey drumsticks with any side (vegetables, rice, spaghetti), spooning the sauce over the top. Enjoy!
