Why Roasted Turkey Thighs Work for a Juicier Main Course

First, 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.
