My favourite turkey is leftover turkey sliced and done up with mash and gravy as a "hot turkey sandwich" sided with cranberry sauce. One could
use leftover dressing as well in place of the tatties. But, somehow I never seem to have any leftovers from my dressing.
That's a good one too. I really want a turkey sammich now. We do have
a bird in the freezer maybe I'll break down and brave the heat for a
day to cook it.
I buy turkey thighs and drumsticks (way cheaper than whole birds or
breasts) and cook those as needed. And it doesn't take nearly as long
as a whole bird. Bv)=

Title: Turkey Thighs w/Pickled Cranberries & Onions For Two
Categories: Poultry, Herbs, Fruits, Citrus, Vegetables
Yield: 2 servings
1 Lemon
2 cl Garlic; grated, pressed or
- minced
1 tb Minced fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 lb Bone-in, skin-on turkey
- thighs
Salt & black pepper
1 md Red onion; thin sliced
1/2 c Coarse chopped cranberries
1 tb Fresh lime juice
2 ts Granulated sugar
2 tb Unsalted butter; into cubes
1/4 c Chopped fresh cilantro,
Basil or parsley leaves; for
- serving
Finely grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the lemon and put it
in a small bowl with the garlic and thyme. Halve the
lemon and squeeze 1 tablespoon of the juice into the
bowl. Mix everything into a paste.
Pat the turkey thighs dry and season with salt and
pepper. Smear turkey with the paste and place thighs on
a plate. Refrigerate, uncovered, so the skin can dry
out, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
Meanwhile, squeeze the remaining juice from the lemon
halves into a medium bowl. Add the onion, cranberries,
lime juice, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt, tossing well.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature, tossing
occasionally, until the onions wilt and turn pink, 1
hour. Cover and refrigerate until serving. (These can be
made up to 3 days in advance.)
Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.
Put turkey thighs on a baking pan and dot with butter.
Roast the thighs for 40 to 50 minutes, until the skin is
crisp, the meat is cooked through and the juices run
clear. (No need to rest here.)
Serve turkey with a little of the cranberries and
pickles on top, with herbs scattered over everything.
