Turkey thigh in a baking bag
Description
The dish is easy to prepare. You can stuff turkey thighs with cheese, dried fruits, herbs, and other fillings, or cook them whole without stuffing. I bake the thighs in a cooking bag, which helps retain all the juices inside. A few minutes before they're done, I open the bag to let the skin brown nicely. If you're cooking for children, it's better to remove the skin, as it contains the highest amount of cholesterol. The dish is ready to serve.

2. I thoroughly wash the turkey thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. With my hands, I push the previously prepared oil mixture under the turkey skin. I season the thighs with salt and pepper. Place the thighs into a roasting bag and put them into a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius, baking for 35-40 minutes.
