When you want the height of flavor but don't want to fool with a whole bird, roast a turkey breast. Basted with a thyme and apple juice sauce, this one's moist and full of flavor.
Ingredients
1
bone-in whole turkey breast (4 1/4 to 5 lb), thawed if frozen
1/2
cup apple juice or dry white wine
2
tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1
teaspoon paprika
1/2
teaspoon salt
2
cloves garlic, finely chopped
Steps
- 1Heat oven to 325°F. On rack in large shallow roasting pan, place turkey breast, skin side up. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of breast and does not touch bone.
- 2Roast uncovered 30 minutes.
- 3In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Brush one-third of apple juice mixture over turkey.
- 4Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes longer, brushing generously with apple juice mixture every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads at least 165°F. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes for easiest carving.
