Cranberry Orange Turkey Thighs Recipe

About two weeks ago I posted a link to the dish that inspired this one. I couldn’t get the combination out of my head. I tried, I really tried, but I failed.

The only other option? Make it myself, of course.

Whether you’re looking for a taste of the holidays, or just something that’s delightfully savory and sweet at the same time, this dish is sure to please. To top it off, it’s about as simple as it gets. With only three ingredients in the mix, it’s the perfect workday meal or a great start to the weekend.

I would have added a bit of curry powder to the mix, and perhaps a few rosemary sprigs. Aside from that, nothing. This was absolutely fantastic!
