Crispy Cajun Turkey Thighs Recipe: A Budget Recipe With Attitude by Donna John
Because of soaring meat prices, I found myself grabbing a package of turkey thighs on my last shopping trip. This very inexpensive purchase turned into a fabulous, crispy, flavorful dinner.
This easy Cajun roasted turkey thighs recipe will wake up those taste buds and is a welcome change from chicken. I served the turkey thighs with potato salad and southern squash and onions. This easy recipe can be cut in half if you're only feeding two.
