- 2-2 pound bone in skin on turkey thighs
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 2-3 sprigs fresh tarragon leaves finely chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves finely chopped
- 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves removed
- 1 large fennel bulb cut into 8-10 wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pat the turkey thighs well with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a baking dish or cast iron skillet.
Meanwhile, make the compound butter by combining softened butter and chopped herbs and mixing it all together.
Rub the butter mixture all over the thighs and under the skin.
Toss the fennel with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and scatter the fennel around the turkey.
Roast turkey thighs for 40-45 minutes until skin is golden brown and internal temp reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once done, let rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting into. Serve with roasted fennel.
