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.

Thyme-Roasted Turkey Breast

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

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

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.
