This easy and delicious recipe for roasted turkey thighs for a holiday dinner or any time of the year is tender and fragrant.

Provided by Linda Larsen

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 (1-pound) turkey thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1/2 cup turkey broth (or chicken broth)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients and heat the oven to 350 F.
  • Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Never rinse the turkey before cooking it because the bacteria on the meat's surface will aerosolize and spread around your kitchen. A good pat dry is a reliable procedure and enough for the seasonings to adhere to the skin.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and sage and mix well.
  • Loosen the skin from the meat and rub some of the butter mixture into the meat. Smooth the skin back over and rub the remaining butter mixture on the skin.
  • Place the thighs in a roasting pan and pour the broth around the turkey.
  • Roast the turkey thighs for 60 to 70 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165 F when inserted in the meat away from the bone.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with foil or the pan lid, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey thighs: Look for thighs that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid thighs that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Season the thighs well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices. This will help to flavor the thighs throughout.
  • Cook the thighs slowly: Roasting the thighs at a low temperature for a longer period of time will help to ensure that they are cooked through and juicy.
  • Baste the thighs regularly: This will help to keep the thighs moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the thighs rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the thighs, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roast turkey thighs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion dinner or a casual weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a roast turkey thigh dish that your family and friends will love.
