Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Turkey thighs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Onion
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to create an herb paste.
Rinse the turkey thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the thighs on a clean cutting board.
Rub the herb paste evenly over both sides of the turkey thighs, making sure to coat them fully.
Cut the onion into thick slices and layer them evenly in the bottom of a roasting pan. This creates a bed for the turkey thighs and adds flavor.
Place the seasoned turkey thighs on top of the onion slices.
Pour the chicken broth around the turkey thighs, ensuring the bottom of the pan is covered, but do not pour broth over the turkey.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast the turkey in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to roast the thighs for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the turkey thighs rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the turkey thighs with the roasted onions and a drizzle of pan juices for added flavor.
