This turkey drumsticks with cranberry BBQ sauce was created in collaboration with SYNERGIE CANADA, a kick ass logistics company located in Blainville. They asked me to develop an exclusive recipe to offer a cooking box to their employees! I find the idea brilliant! #lecoupdegrace #collaboration #detachetacebite
