Smoked Turkey with Fig Balsalmic

Smoked Turkey with Fig Balsamic

One of my favorite easy dinners is heating up one of Diestel Family Turkey Ranch’s smoked turkey thighs. My sister works there so I am very lucky to get these often! It is nice to pair the savory turkey meat with this sweet and tangy sauce!

Fig Balsamic Sauce

Prep Time: 1 minute
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2 ( we LOVE sauces, so we have generous portions, but it could possibly serve 4)

¼ cup onion, finely diced

½ teaspoon olive oil

¼ cup fig butter from Trader Joe’s**

¼ cup chicken broth

⅛ cup balsamic vinegar

1. In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the onion and olive oil. Sauté for 3 minutes or until it is translucent. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the fig butter, chicken broth, and balsamic vinegar. Then, simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Serve with the turkey thighs or even chicken!

**There are some added sugars in this product, but overall it is pretty much Paleo. If you are super-strict Paleo, you can probably make this with four really ripe figs. Add them to a food processor with 1 tablespoon honey and pulse until it is a pureé. Add that to the sauce! I would have done that initially, but there are no figs in season where I am right now.
