Roast Your Nuts!

By Denise Pare-Watson

The Confident Kitchen Series

Roasted Turkey Thighs with Honey Dijon Glaze

By Denise Pare-Watson

The Inspiration of UrbnSpice Series

We were experiencing a rather dampish day with brisk winds on Vancouver Island, and it seemed that an oven meal was appropriate. Luckily, the Market Inspiration of the Day was a boneless turkey thigh.  You may have seen this particular turkey cut in your market wanderings and wondered what to do with it.  I am going to share an idea with you for Roasted Turkey Thighs with Honey Dijon Glaze.  But first, let’s mix up a quick poultry dry rub seasoning mix. Serve this delicious roast turkey thigh recipe with UrbnSpice’s Holiday Treats Preserve.
