Ingredients

Serves 2-4 as a main course dish and 4-6 as a side.

　　3 large garlic cloves, sliced

　　2 medium onions, cut in half and then in quarters

　　2 turkey thighs (2 pounds)

　　8 ounces fresh cranberries

　　1/2 cup maple syrup

　　1 orange with the skin and pith cut off

　　1/4 cup water

　　1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

　　1 teaspoon sea salt

　　1 teaspoon whole peppercorns

　　2 tablespoons olive oil

　　1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

　　

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

　　

Step 2

2. Place onions and garlic in a 10-inch cast iron pan. Rinse turkey thighs and place on top of onions and garlic.

　　

Step 3

3. In a blender, combine cranberries, maple syrup, orange, water, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, peppercorns, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Pour over turkey, onions, and garlic.

　　

Step 4

4. Bake for 1 hour, turn the turkey once, and then back clearing the sauce from the top of the thigh. Brush thighs with olive oil and bake another 30-40 minutes. (Baking with the sauce on for the first hour helps lock in moisture. Brushing with olive oil makes crisps the turkey and makes it more visually appealing.)
