HERB-ROASTED TURKEY BREAST



Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast image

Rather than roast an entire bird, try Ina Garten's Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast for a flavorful alternative. Rosemary, sage and thyme star in this recipe.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole bone-in turkey breast, 6 1/2 to 7 pounds
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a paste. Loosen the skin from the meat gently with your fingers and smear half of the paste directly on the meat. Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin. Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.
  • Roast the turkey for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast. (I test in several places.) If the skin is over-browning, cover the breast loosely with aluminum foil. When the turkey is done, cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over the turkey.

HERBED TURKEY BREAST



Herbed Turkey Breast image

Dressed up, this diminutive cut of turkey breast is no less iconic than a whole roast turkey. For the best flavor and texture, brine your turkey breast for six hours. Fresh flat-leaf parsley, sage, oregano, and rosemary bring lots of earthy, aromatic flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 quarts (16 cups) cold water
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup sugar
1 turkey breast (6 to 7 pounds), bone in, skin on, excess fat trimmed
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 ounces (5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons softened, 1 tablespoon melted
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
4 medium shallots, halved
4 medium carrots, 1 inch green top attached, halved lengthwise
4 small turnips, peeled and halved
1 1/2 pounds assorted small potatoes, scrubbed, halved or quartered
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the turkey: Combine water, 3/4 cup salt, and the sugar in a large stockpot, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add turkey, weighting it with a plate to submerge if necessary. Cover, and refrigerate for 6 hours.
  • Remove turkey from brine. Pat dry with paper towels, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Mash garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt with the side of a large knife until a paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl, and add softened butter and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently separate turkey skin from breast meat, being careful not to tear the skin. Spread herb-butter mixture evenly under skin, then smooth down to remove trapped air. Brush turkey with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Make the vegetables: Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in lowest position. Place all of the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
  • Arrange vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with a rack. Place turkey on rack, skin side up, and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Continue roasting, rotating sheet halfway through, and basting turkey with pan juices and tossing vegetables occasionally, until breast is golden brown and the thickest part of the turkey registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour. Transfer vegetables to a platter and turkey to a cutting board, and let rest for 30 minutes before carving.
  • To carve the turkey breast: Slice each side along bone, then cut into slices at least 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a serving platter.

Add plenty of earthy, citrus flavor to whole turkey breast with fresh flat-leaf parsley, sage, and orange zest. A delicious gravy is made with chicken stock and orange juice for dressing.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Zest of 1 orange
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 boneless, skin-on whole turkey breast, tenderloins removed, about 4 3/4 pounds
2 medium onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
4 medium carrots, halved lengthwise
2 1/4 cups homemade stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth, divided
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice or white wine
1 1/2 tablespoons instant flour, such as Wondra

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine butter, orange zest, parsley and sage in a medium bowl. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
  • Evenly distribute half of butter mixture under skin of turkey breast. Flip turkey breast and rub remaining butter evenly on inside of breast; season with salt and pepper. Starting with one short side, roll turkey breast into a log shape, tucking ends under to ensure even cooking. Using kitchen twine, tie breast at 1-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Arrange onion slices in bottom of 12-inch ovenproof sauté pan and scatter carrots around perimeter of pan. Add 1 cup chicken stock to pan and place turkey breast, seam-side down, on top of onions. Transfer saute pan to oven and cook, basting turkey and vegetables every 15 minutes with pan juices, until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees and juices run clear, about 1 hour 30 minutes. After an hour, tent turkey with foil to avoid overbrowning. Transfer turkey breast from pan to cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, remove and discard vegetables from saute pan. Transfer pan juices to a fat separator; discard fat. Place pan over medium-high heat and add orange juice, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan. Return defatted pan drippings to pan and stir to combine. In small jar with tight-fitting lid, combine remaining 1 1/4 cups chicken stock with flour and shake to combine. Slowly add chicken stock mixture to pan, whisking to incorporate. Continue to cook until thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slice turkey breast and serve with gravy.

½ teaspoon ground mustard powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Turkey Breast Tenderloins: Opt for tenderloins that are evenly sized and have a plump, firm texture. Avoid any that appear bruised or have an off-color.
  • Brine the Turkey Breast Tenderloins: Brining helps keep the tenderloins moist and flavorful. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, sugar, and herbs.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage add a burst of flavor to the tenderloins. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Turkey Breast Tenderloins: Turkey breast tenderloins cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become dry and tough. Cook the tenderloins until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Turkey Breast Tenderloins Rest: After cooking, let the tenderloins rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Herbed turkey breast tenderloins are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. They are a great source of lean protein and can be easily customized to suit your taste. Whether you prefer a simple roasted tenderloin or one that is brined and seasoned with a flavorful herb blend, you are sure to enjoy this dish. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give herbed turkey breast tenderloins a try.
