Ingredients
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch sage, leaves only, finely chopped (about 2/3 ounce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 bone-in skin-on turkey thighs (2 to 3 pounds total)
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix together chopped garlic, chopped sage leaves, and salt.
  2. Cut slits into turkey thighs and rub sage-garlic-salt mixture into the slits and over entire surface. Marinate in refrigerator 5 to 6 hours. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Preheat oven to 400ºF or preheat grill to medium. Place thighs, skin side down, in roasting pan. Place pan, uncovered, in oven or on grill for about 30 minutes. Then turn thighs over and sprinkle with vinegar and olive oil, and continue roasting until meat is done (when internal temperature reaches 165ºF).
  4. Remove pan from oven or grill and allow to rest about 10 minutes. Then place each thigh on a cutting board, divide in half, slicing with the grain of the meat, and serve.
