Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  2. Pat 3 (1-pound) bone-in skin-on turkey thighs dry with paper towels.

  3. Combine 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon dried sage in a small bowl.

  4. Loosen the turkey skin, rub some butter mixture onto the meat, then smooth the skin back and apply the remaining mixture on top.

  5. Place the thighs in a roasting pan and pour 1/2 cup turkey or chicken broth around them.

  6. Roast for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F when measured away from the bone.

  7. Remove from oven, cover tightly, and rest for 10 minutes before serving.
