Turkey Thighs

Turkey thighs are the darker, more flavourful part of the turkey, with a higher fat content than the white breast meat. Their richer, more pronounced flavour makes them ideal for slow roasting, braising or cooking in a slow cooker. The thigh meat is juicy, lightly fibrous and falls apart beautifully when properly prepared. They are well suited to autumn and winter dishes such as stews, roast turkey with cabbage or braised preparations. The skin on the thighs helps retain moisture during roasting. Thighs are available as whole bone-in quarters or boneless. They are rich in iron, zinc and B vitamins.
