Oven-Roasted Spiced Turkey Thighs

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp (45 g) butter at room temperature
• 5 tsp. Old Bay seasonings
• 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 turkey thighs with skin and bone (about 1 kg total)
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Rinse the turkey thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Gently insert your fingers between the skin and the meat to loosen the skin slightly. Spread the butter mixture evenly under the skin of each thigh. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Place the turkey thighs in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and roast until crispy and the juices run clear when pierced with a knife (a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165°F), 35 to 40 minutes. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
