4 servings
75 minutes
Turkey thighs with ginger and lemon is a vibrant and aromatic dish from Italian cuisine that harmoniously combines the freshness of citrus and the spiciness of ginger. This recipe recalls traditional Italian meat roasting techniques where simple yet rich flavors are revealed through slow cooking. Lemon juice makes the turkey juicy while ginger adds a piquant touch, creating a balanced flavor bouquet. The finishing touch is a honey glaze that adds a sweet caramel note. The dish is suitable for both festive dinners and everyday family lunches, and its versatility allows it to be served hot or cold. It is a simple yet exquisite treat that will adorn your table and provide gastronomic pleasure.
