Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 pound total) Turkey thighs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh thyme
- 3 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a herb paste.
Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp coating.
Rub the herb paste evenly all over the turkey thighs, ensuring an even coat for maximum flavor.
Place the seasoned turkey thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the turkey thighs from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
