How to Make Easy Turkey Thigh Dinner

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pat turkey thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear turkey thighs, skin-side down, for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Flip turkey thighs and sear for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Pour in chicken broth and white wine (if using).
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey thighs reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with brown rice and enjoy!
