Ingredients
- 2 pieces Turkey thigh
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub the oil mixture all over the turkey thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Crush the garlic cloves slightly to release their aroma and arrange them around the turkey thighs in a roasting pan.
Step 6
Chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, and sprinkle them evenly over the turkey thighs.
Step 7
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of the turkey thighs.
Step 8
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the meat moist during cooking.
Step 9
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 90 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the inner temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 10
If the skin begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Step 11
Remove the turkey thighs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
Step 12
Serve the roasted turkey thighs warm, garnished with the roasted garlic and lemon slices alongside your choice of sides.
