Baked Turkey Thighs

As I went to the supermarket yesterday during my lunch break I noticed these Turkey thighs and I thought. Well that is what I will do for dinner. I had not done them in a while. Arriving home is always an interesting scene as My little one wants my devoted attention yet I also want to cook, so I decided to quickly prepare the thighs, then put them in the oven while bathing the little one. Of course the smart thing would have been to have everything ready in the morning or the night before this way all I would have to do is to put them straight in the oven.

INGREDIENTS

2 turkey thighs
4 tablespoons of paprika
6 chopped garlic
1 tablespoon of thick sea salt
1 cup of olive oil
2 bay leaves cut into 4 pieces each

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a oven safe dish add half the olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic and bay leaves and mix it
  2. Add the 2 turkey thighs and pour rest of olive oil along with other ingredients on the top 
  3. Put it in the oven first at 325 for about the first 20 minutes, then up to 375 for the last 15 minutes
Serve with egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

You know what's really funny? I never make turkey besides for Thanksgiving. Pretty weird huh? I think I'll have to get some thighs and try this recipe. I sounds delish!

Melissa, you are so right. I too usually only do Turkey for the holidays, then when I saw them in the supermarket I thought, perfect idea for dinner. As Moogie says it is a very simple and fast meal to prepare
