Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the thighs in a baking dish with high sides. Season thoroughly.
- Place onion wedges around the thighs. Cover everything with thinly sliced butter. Reserve a third of the butter for frying the mushrooms.
- Roast in the oven for 2-2.5 hours. Add some water after an hour so you get some delicious cooking juices for the sauce.
- Pierce the thigh and check if the juices run clear, it should not be pink. The meat should have an internal temperature of at least 160°F (72°C) when cooked through. Once cooked, let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Fry the mushrooms in butter and set aside. Collect the turkey drippings in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add cream. Keep boiling and let simmer until the sauce thickens. Taste to see if additional seasoning is necessary.
- Add in the mushrooms or serve separately.
- Serve with freshly cooked broccoli and enjoy!
