   • Place the turkey drumsticks in a large shallow dish.
   • In a bowl, combine the butter, margarine, dry sherry, soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped onion, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix.
   • Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 8 hours, turning the drumsticks occasionally to evenly marinate.

2. Grilling the Drumsticks:

   • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
   • Drain the drumsticks, reserving the marinade.
   • Wrap each drumstick and 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
   • Grill the foil-wrapped drumsticks over medium coals for 1 hour, turning them after 30 minutes.

3. Final Grilling and Basting:

   • Remove the foil from the drumsticks, while keeping the marinade.
   • Return the drumsticks to the grill and continue cooking for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
   • Throughout the final grilling, baste the drumsticks frequently with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor and keep them moist.

4. Serving:

   • Once cooked through, remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the tender, flavorful Grilled Turkey Drumsticks with your favorite side dishes or salads.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the drumsticks are thoroughly marinated for at least 8 hours to absorb the flavors fully.
• Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to wrap the drumsticks during grilling to prevent them from drying out and to retain moisture.
• Baste the drumsticks generously with the marinade during the final grilling phase to achieve a delicious glaze and depth of flavor.
• Monitor the grill temperature to prevent burning and to cook the drumsticks evenly.
