Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Wash turkey thighs and pat dry with paper towels making sure they are completely dry.
- Divide soften butter and rub over entire surface of each turkey thigh. Season each side of each thigh generously with kosher salt, the Cajun spice blend, and black pepper.
- Add sliced onions in skillet then lay turkey thighs on top of bed of onions.
- Place thighs in the oven to roast for 1hr and 30 minutes to 1hr and 45 minutes. Oven temperatures may vary which can result in your thighs roasting upward to 2 hours. Baste thighs with pan juices every 30 to 40 minutes during cooking process.
- You can check for done-ness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the thermometers reads 180 degrees, they are done. You can also check by gently pressing the thighs with your fingers after recommended cooking time. If the juices run clear, the thighs are most likely done.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9X13 X2 inch baking pan with non stick cooking spray. Then add the baby carrots, and fresh sprigs of rosemary & thyme, cloves garlic, onion sections and sweet peppers.
- 2. These are the beautiful turkey thighs that I purchased.
- 3. Combine the granulated onion and garlic with steak seasoning and Mrs. Dash in a small bowl. Then generously sprinkle over each of the turkey parts top and bottom.
- 4. Lay in baking pan on top of the vegetable bed. Add the chicken broth if desired. Spray top with non stick cooking spray, and add additional sprigs of fresh herbs. Add pan to preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for about 1 hour & 25 minutes, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork and an instant read thermometer reaches 165 degrees F. I then covered the pan with foil and returned to the oven an additional 20 minutes to create a softer texture in the skin. That's optional.
- 5. Remove from oven, and make gravy from pan drippings if desired, serve vegetables with additional sides.
ROASTED TURKEY THIGHS
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients and heat the oven to 350 F.
- Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Never rinse the turkey before cooking it because the bacteria on the meat's surface will aerosolize and spread around your kitchen. A good pat dry is a reliable procedure and enough for the seasonings to adhere to the skin.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and sage and mix well.
- Loosen the skin from the meat and rub some of the butter mixture into the meat. Smooth the skin back over and rub the remaining butter mixture on the skin.
- Place the thighs in a roasting pan and pour the broth around the turkey.
- Roast the turkey thighs for 60 to 70 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165 F when inserted in the meat away from the bone.
- Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with foil or the pan lid, and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.

CAJUN ROASTED TURKEY OR CHICKEN
The deli at our local market sells the most wonderful Cajun turkey meat. It has just enough spice for me. I have a high sensitivity to spicy/acidic food. It blisters my mouth, so I have to be careful. This recipe is the closest I've found to duplicate the recipe. You could always pare down the size of the bird you're cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the seasoning, brown sugar, oil, oregano, and salt. Divide the mixture in half and add the garlic to one mix. Rub the garlic mixture under the skin. Rub the outside of the bird with the other mixture. Coat evenly.
- Place on a wire rack in your roasting pan.
- Roast until your thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 180 degrees and juices run clear, about 2 hours. Let stand 10 minutes before carving.
- NOTE: I think that 180 degrees is just a bit high. Compare with the cooking chart on the wrapper the bird comes in (most usually there's one on the back).
