ROASTED TURKEY THIGHS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients and heat the oven to 350 F.
• Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Never rinse the turkey before cooking it because the bacteria on the meat's surface will aerosolize and spread around your kitchen. A good pat dry is a reliable procedure and enough for the seasonings to adhere to the skin.
• In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and sage and mix well.
• Loosen the skin from the meat and rub some of the butter mixture into the meat. Smooth the skin back over and rub the remaining butter mixture on the skin.
• Place the thighs in a roasting pan and pour the broth around the turkey.
• Roast the turkey thighs for 60 to 70 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165 F when inserted in the meat away from the bone.
• Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with foil or the pan lid, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
