Buttery Roasted Turkey Thighs

Step 1

Season the thighs on both sides with salt and pepper and preheat the oven to 400F degrees.

Step 2

Add the turkey thighs, skin side down, to a cold cast iron skillet and heat it slowly to medium low heat. Cook them, undisturbed, for about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from heat and flip the thigh so they are skin side up. Cover loosely with foil and place in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the thighs are roasting, heat the butter, harissa and honey in a small pot until it starts to bubble. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Reduce the oven temperature to 350F degrees, uncover the turkey, pour on the harissa honey sauce and roast an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 160F degrees.
