Steps:

- 2. These are the beautiful turkey thighs that I purchased.
- 3. Combine the granulated onion and garlic with steak seasoning and Mrs. Dash in a small bowl. Then generously sprinkle over each of the turkey parts top and bottom.
- 4. Lay in baking pan on top of the vegetable bed. Add the chicken broth if desired. Spray top with non stick cooking spray, and add additional sprigs of fresh herbs. Add pan to preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for about 1 hour & 25 minutes, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork and an instant read thermometer reaches 165 degrees F. I then covered the pan with foil and returned to the oven an additional 20 minutes to create a softer texture in the skin. That's optional.
- 5. Remove from oven, and make gravy from pan drippings if desired, serve vegetables with additional sides.
ROASTED TURKEY THIGHS
Steps:
- MIx butter and herbs and rub under skin and on top of skin. Place in roasting pan and add chicken broth. Roast at Convection 350 for about 60 minutes until 170. Rest 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. This will help to create a crispy skin on the turkey thighs and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Make sure there is enough space between the turkey thighs so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the turkey thighs over medium heat. This will help to render the fat and cook the meat evenly without burning it.
- Baste the turkey thighs with butter or oil every few minutes. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Roast the turkey thighs until they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Roasted turkey thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
