Important nutritional disclaimer
I have two frozen turkey drumsticks I’d like to use up. Do you think it would work if I defrosted them, put them into the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients for this recipe, cooked on low for a couple of extra hours, and then shredded the meat off the bones?
Yes that should work!
