Roasted Turkey Thighs with Honey Dijon Glaze

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.

UrbnSpice Holiday Treats Preserve

By Denise Pare-Watson

Holiday Treats Preserve – this preserve is also known as Cranberry, Pineapple and Pear Compote.

This is not your ordinary cranberry sauce. This has been a must-have preserve in our family for decades and it is enjoyed year around. This incredible blend of cranberry, pineapple and pear are perfectly balanced together with special cranberry molasses. The Holiday Treats Preserve is amazing with any poultry or pork (and don’t forget turkey dinners!). It is amazing in a chicken Panini, too. No other cranberry sauce will do. We use it all year around for all of our pork and poultry dishes.

It is spread onto slices of bread for turkey or chicken sandwiches or served alongside pork and ham feasts just as easily. It is a treat to be sure – “Holiday Treats Preserve“.

Here are just a few of the ways that you can use this delicious preserve:

On a Wats-On Sandwich

The almost famous “Wats-On Chicken Sandwich” in which a layer of the caramelized onion is crucial. The layers of this beautiful sandwich are as follows: caramelized onion, grilled chicken, provolone cheese, fresh basil leaves, tomato slices, garlic aïoli (or the Caramelized Onion Dip) on a buttered, toasted baguette. Serve with Holiday Treats Preserve. So, so good!

Top Customer Reviews

Chocolate! Need Any More Be Said?

ByGrandmaTOP 500 REVIEWERon March 16, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Those of you who follow my cookbook reviews know that it is a very hard thing to get a five-star review from me. Denise Paré-Watson hits every one of the marks with her latest, Chocolate Desserts Made Easy and Delicious – Cookies, Brownies & Squares. The book is very nicely formatted and features an interactive Table of Contents that interfaces with the Kindle Navigation menu correctly. It is patently obvious that Denise knows of what she writes as she shares her expertise with the reader in more than fifty recipes for various bites of chocolate heaven.

Denise presents recipes that range from Black & White Chocolate Chips to definitely drool-worthy Quadruple Chocolate Brownies (the picture alone of that one is enough to make me gain a pound!!) and not just one but two different recipes for Chocolate Wafers – the crisp thin kind you use for Chocolate Icebox Cake and the softer kind that you use for Ice Cream Sandwiches. Each and every recipe is accompanied by a thorough description, detailed directions and often suggestion for a number of variations, storage and so on. The book includes both standard and metric measurements as well as pictures of most items. This is, without a doubt, a chocolate cookie baking primer!

If you love chocolate, this book’s for you.

Highly recommended!
