Chop half an onion and a couple tablespoons each of green and red pepper.

Crumble half a chicken bouillon cube into a bowl.

Add half a teaspoon of chicken seasoning, some garlic powder, onion powder, and a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning to the bowl.

Sprinkle paprika generously over the mixture, about a tablespoon.

Add a spoon of green seasoning (Haitian epis) to the mixture.

Massage all the ingredients together in the bowl.

Take the turkey drumsticks and massage the seasoning mixture into them, ensuring they are well coated.

Place the seasoned drumsticks into an aluminum pan, leaving the onions and peppers aside.

Cover the pan with foil and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the turkey drumsticks in the oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

After 1 hour and 15 minutes, remove the drumsticks from the oven and add the reserved onions and peppers to the pan.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the drumsticks and add a drizzle of honey on top.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and return the drumsticks to the oven uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes to achieve a rich brown color.

Baste the drumsticks with the juices from the pan to prevent them from drying out.

Return the drumsticks to the oven for an additional 5 minutes if needed before serving.
