Preparation of the Rosemary Butter
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
- Mix until well combined and set aside for later use.
Preparing the Turkey
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the turkey thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the turkey thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
Roasting the Turkey
- Flip the turkey thighs over and spread the prepared rosemary butter generously over the skin.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 40-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Baste the turkey thighs with the melted butter halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
Resting and Serving
- Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining pan juices if desired.

Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the turkey thighs in the rosemary butter overnight before cooking. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
