Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 3 pieces carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1 piece yellow onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 piece lemon, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels. Rub them on all sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Nestle the seasoned turkey thighs among the vegetables in the skillet. Add the chicken broth to the pan, pouring it around the vegetables and not directly on the turkey to preserve the seasoning.
Step 5
Tuck the rosemary and thyme sprigs among the turkey and vegetables. Lay the lemon slices over the top of the turkey thighs for a bright, citrusy aroma as it cooks.
Step 6
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the turkey thighs are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Halfway through cooking, baste the turkey with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful. Stir the vegetables gently to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 5 minutes before serving. Discard the herb sprigs and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Step 9
Plate the turkey thighs alongside the roasted vegetables and drizzle with pan juices for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your Turkey Thigh Supper!
