Step 1

Start your sous vide machine preheating. I prefer 148ºF (64.4ºC) but many people prefer a more well done texture at 150°F (65.6°C).

Step 2

Trim off any fat and cut into portions if desired. Salt the thigh and add any seasoning rub or herbs you prefer.

Step 3

Place the turkey thigh in a sous vide bag and then seal.

Step 4

Add the bag to the preheated sous vide water bath. Let the turkey cook until it is heated through and tenderized, about 4 to 6 hours.

Step 5

Once the turkey thigh is ready, remove it from the sous vide machine and take it out of the bag. Pat it dry with paper towels or a dish cloth so you can get a good sear on it.

Step 6

Heat a heavy pan with some oil in it over medium-high to high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the thigh and sear quickly, about one minute per side. You want the turkey thigh to just brown but not overcook any more.

Step 7

Place the turkey onto a plate with any salads or sides then serve.
