The holiday season is a busy time for foodie moms like me. But thats probably why I love the holidays. And I love turkey, but if were not careful, the breast can be so dry.
So you know how excited I was when stores started selling thighs and drumsticks separately. Problem solved! Juicy roasted turkey thighs for Thanksgiving is a game-changer.
Why Roasted Turkey Thighs Work for a Juicier Main CourseFirst, turkey thighs are dark meat and, therefore, have more fat, which carries flavor. The higher fat content also makes juicier meat. Plus, turkey thighs are more forgiving when you overcook them. While the turkey breast meat dries out when overcooked, the oven-roasted thighs are even more tender.
