Try this recipe with dark meat! Simply replace the turkey breast with two turkey thighs
Directions

While the turkey is cooking, place cranberries, water, maple syrup, olive oil, and vinegar, into a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes until cranberries are soft.
Transfer sauce into blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Mix in mustard and chives.
After removing the turkey from the oven, remove skin and coat with glaze. Return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Add additional glaze to the turkey parts halfway through cooking.
The turkey is cooked when a meat thermometer should read 170°F (77°C) when it is done.
