7. Cook drumsticks via indirect heat for an additional 50–60 minutes.
8. The grill temperature during this time should read around 300°F.
9. Turn drumsticks 1/4 turn every 10 minutes until they have reached an internal temperature of 180°F.

Notes
This recipe uses an indirect cooking technique on the grill. If you have a gas grill, turn one burner off and leave the remaining burners lit at medium heat. Place the drumsticks over the burner that has been shut off. If you have a charcoal grill, move the drumsticks to the coolest spot on the grill or raise the rack. The objective is to slowly cook the turkey so that it does not burn or dry out.
