How to Make Baked Turkey Thighs In Wine Herbs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season 4 bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the turkey thighs and place them in a roasting pan.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes: Peel and cube 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and the potatoes. Sauté for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and tender.
  6. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Pour 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) over the turkey thighs.
  7. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, and 2 bay leaves to the roasting pan.
  8. Arrange the sautéed potatoes around the turkey thighs.
  9. Return the roasting pan to the oven and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  10. Remove the turkey thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
  11. Carefully pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup. Skim off excess fat.
  12. Serve the turkey thighs with the delicious pan sauce on the side for dipping, or drizzle generously over the sliced turkey.
