My family used to red-cook turkey drumsticks (which were quite inexpensive
at the time), using the standard method.  They were great!  Overnight
marinade produces more red.  Addition of fresh ginger, red peppers (or hot 
oil), and/or crushed garlic to the marinade all produce excellent variations.
Steaming the marinaded legs instead of roasting is very different, but also
delicious.
