Cooking turkey thigh joint - help for a veggie

Make-it-3

As there are only 1 and half meat eaters in our house, buying a whole turkey seemed a waste so I picked up a turkey thigh joint yesterday.

However it has no cooking instructions on it and googling just says cooking times vary depending on size - can anyone help its 800g?

Also (having googled) I understand its going to be dark meat should I treat it differently when dressing it for cooking?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks but I've seen that recipe and it doesn't say what size/weight the thighs are.

What's half a meat eater, out of interest?

The half is a nearly 3 yr old who my or may not eat it depending on how the wind blows!

I'm the ignorant veggie - I think it's boneless, I can't see a bone anyway. It must have come from a pretty big turkey, I do hope it will taste ok, I've read a few negative things about this cut while I have been googling.

We're having this tomorrow (me and 2 sons) and it says 70 minutes. 190
degrees.


ETA - mine is 750g and I was just going to cook it under tin foil.

Thanks Frith - that's really helpful and no thanks to Sainsbury's who failed to put any instructions on the pack.

Mine's from Sainsburys! The instructions were hidden underneath mine. Just hoping it thaws considerably more than it has done so far. :-/

Instructions will be under the label, usually on the other side, or underneath the tray holding it, if there is one. There will be some sort of instructions there, or a cooking time indicator.
