Thyme-Roasted Turkey Breast

Thyme-Roasted Turkey Breast
Recipe Tip
Let's Talk Turkey
Turkey breast is a lean protein that supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.
Success
The resting time after roasting allows the meat to become more firm, so carving smooth, uniform slices is easier.
Did You Know?
Nutrition for this recipe was calculated without the skin. By not eating the turkey skin, you've avoided an additional 60 calories and 7g of total fat!
Gluten-Free Foods

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. From eatbetteramerica.
Prep Time:10 min
Start to Finish:2 hr 20 min
makes:10 servings
1bone-in whole turkey breast (4 1/4 to 5 lb), thawed if frozen
1/2cup apple juice or dry white wine
2tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1teaspoon paprika
1/2teaspoon salt
2cloves garlic, finely chopped
1.Heat 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.
2.Roast uncovered 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix remaining ingredients.
3.Brush 1/3 of apple juice mixture over turkey. Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes longer, brushing generously with apple juice mixture every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads 170°F.
4.Remove turkey from oven; cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand 15 minutes for easiest carving.

The best ever
This is the best turkey I ever made according to my son, who cooks in a 4 star restaurant. This turkey was so moist and flavorful! I will definately be using this recipe again and again! Mary B
