With a savory, umami-rich miso butter crust and juicy, tender meat, this recipe is perfect for busy nights when you crave a comforting roast dinner without the hassle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 lbs bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Pat the turkey thighs very dry with paper towels. Season the skin side generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso paste, minced garlic, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Mash together with a fork until smooth.
  4. Spread the miso butter all over the turkey thighs, including under the skin if possible.
  5. Place the thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
  6. Let the turkey thighs rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after roasting. Use unsalted butter to control salt level. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
