Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Mix the butter with the chopped sage, garlic, onion and seasoning. Loosen the skin from the turkey drumsticks and rub half the butter under the skin, then reshape and rub the remaining butter on top.
Put the turkey in a large roasting tin and pour in the stock.
Roast for 55-60 mins, basting with the buttery juices halfway through cooking, until the turkey is cooked through and the juices run clear. Leave to rest for 10 mins, then serve with the buttery sauce.
