I have Turkey Thighs

[TMT1977]

I picked up some Turkey Thighs at the grocery store for cheap. Now what? I was thinking maybe an Asian Marinade utilizing Tamari, sesame oil, scallions, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes....OR....

I dunno....

I'd be eternally grateful for your ideas. Thanks in advance.

you can smoke them on the grill and they taste very much like the brisket we used to get in Texas.

Actually when I read the title, I thought, Amen sister, I feel your pain. Let's start a support group. Then I read the body of your topic, and get it.

I like the idea of scallion, oil, etc.. that's how I roll, in fact had chicken breasts that way last night. But with turkey legs, maybe you could bbq them? Using the usual vinegar and tomato base. Crock pot them first and finish on the bbq, and perhaps make pulled turkey legs on rolls? I'd do it.

Our favorite entree is oven braised turkey thighs.

Prehaet oven to 350. Season thighs liberally with poultry seasoning and s&p to taste and place into a large covered ovenware dish. (I use a big oval corning one.)
Add 1 1/2 cup chicken stock.
Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Uncover and cook for 30 minutes more until the skin is crispy.
The meat will be very tender and moist and the skin crispy. Also, the fat will render out.

I am forced to make this close to once a week. We make it for company and friends who I've iven the recipe to have become devotees. Easy and delicious.

my first thoughts were marinated (lemon & herbs) & grilled; turkey osso bucco; or a Moroccan-spiced braise or tagine.

Go ahead and hit me, but your thread title sounded like something overheard in the girl's locker room, in Junior High. :-) Glad you're not REALLY so down on yoruself, TMT! ;-)

I thought the same thing. We should have a contest for the thread most strikingly misunderstandable!

[TMT1977]

Haha. I'm not much of a linguist, am I?

[Jennalynn]

Amen.

I was going to suggest the Stairmaster and some moisturizer.

I was going to offer my sympathies. From the other smartass responses it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one here with a twisted mind.

With chicken thighs, I tend to go with grilled tandoori flavours. I think that would go well with turkey thighs, too, though the cooking would take a bit longer.

Tandoori marinade:

1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup olive oil
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
¼ cup fresh lime juice

don't have any inspired suggestions for flavoring, but I've often cooked them in a crock pot, then used the generous amount of tender meat in any number of dishes like chili, casseroles, and sandwiches.

Maybe I should mention. I have a gas grill. I also have a convection oven. And I have a pretty well stocked spice cabinet. I also have fresh rosemary, chives and flat leaf Italian parsley in the garden.
