Folks who enjoy dark meat will appreciate this treatment for turkey thighs. An oven bag keeps them nice and moist during baking. Little bits of vegetables add taste and texture to the flavorful gravy.—Loretta Paulus, Venice, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1 cup each finely chopped onion, celery and carrots
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 pounds turkey thighs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 large oven roasting bag
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine onion, celery, carrots, ketchup, salt, paprika and pepper. Pat onto turkey thighs. Place 1 tablespoon flour in oven bag; shake to coat. Transfer turkey thighs to oven bag.
  • 2. Place in a 13x9-in. baking dish. Combine broth, wine or additional broth, oregano and bay leaves. Put into bag; seal. Cut 2 slits into the top of the bag. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer inserted in turkey reads 170°-175°.
