Turkey thigh in foil baked in the oven

A great dish for a festive table that will replace chicken! I was quite skeptical about the turkey, I didn't really like the taste of it, so once again I tried not to cook. But my beloved husband, seeing this leg in the store, begged me to buy it. And so this dish appeared. The leg turns out to be very tender, fragrant, with a beautiful crispy crust. A great dish that any everyday table will turn into a festive feast.
