Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Juicy Roast Turkey Thighs.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
To prepare the oven bag, sprinkle a light dusting of flour inside and nestle it into a 9x11-inch baking pan.
Step 3
Create a flavorful bed by layering chopped onion, celery, and carrot at the bottom of the bag.
Step 4
Next, take your turkey thighs, rinse them under cool water, and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Drizzle olive oil over the thighs, making sure to work it under the skin and on the surface for maximum flavor.
Step 6
Generously season the thighs with seasoned salt, rubbing some beneath the skin to infuse every bite with taste.
Step 7
Place the seasoned thighs atop the vibrant vegetable layer in the bag.
Step 8
Seal the bag tightly with the provided tie, then carefully slice six small slits in the top with a sharp knife to let steam escape.
Step 9
With care, position the pan in the oven, ensuring the bag stays clear of the top heating element.
Step 10
Allow the turkey thighs to roast for approximately one hour, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers a safe 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as you await a perfectly cooked meal.
