Orange Turkey Legs

1 (11 ounce) Can of Mandarin Oranges, drained with liquid reserve
2 Tablespoons Distilled White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
2-3 Turkey Drumsticks

In a blender mix the orange, vinegar, and brown sugar.  Transfer the mix to a large plastic bag and mix in the liquid from the oranges and oil.  Put the turkey drumsticks into the bag, seal and refridgerate overnight, turning once or twice to get an even coverage of the turkey.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Place the marinated drumsticks on the baking sheet and season with salt.  Cover and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove the cover and bake another hour, using some of the reserve liquid from the bag as basting material.  When the meat has reached an internal temperature of 180 degrees then the meat is done.  It should be a little brown and crispy on the outside.
