ROAST-YOUR-OWN HONEY-ROASTED TURKEY BREAST AND VEGETABLES



Roast-Your-Own Honey-Roasted Turkey Breast and Vegetables image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 4-pound boneless, skin-on turkey breast
2 tablespoons honey
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 carrots, sliced into 3-inch chunks
1 sweet potato, peeled and sliced into wedges
1 fennel bulb, sliced
1 yellow onion, sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Rub 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper around the whole turkey breast, in every crevasse and crevice. Gently peel back the skin and rub the seasoning under the skin too. Do the same with the honey, concentrating it under the skin; avoid putting the honey on top of the skin.
  • On a baking sheet, mix the thyme, carrots, sweet potatoes, fennel, onions and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables out evenly and place the turkey on top of the vegetables. Next, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter all over the turkey and on top of the skin.
  • Cook for 15 minutes, then bump the temperature down to 325 degrees F and cook until the meat registers 165 degrees F on a GOOD instant-read thermometer, for another hour or so. Let rest at least 10 minutes.
  • Slice and serve with the roasted vegetables. The turkey will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, and is perfect for the kids' lunches the following week.

HONEY GLAZED TURKEY BREAST



HONEY GLAZED TURKEY BREAST image

Categories     Poultry

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 kg boneless turkey breast, fresh
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/3 cup margarine, butter flavored
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup white wine
pepper, to taste
Read more: http://www.food.com/recipe/honey-roasted-turkey-breast-441636?oc=linkback

Steps:

  • Directions: 1 Place the turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan. 2 In a medium sauce pan, combine remaining ingredients and gently simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavor from the sprig on rosemary (I used one that was about 5 inches long) to infuse into the sauce. Remove and keep the sprig of rosemary. 3 If you have an injector, inject about 1/2 of the wine/butter/honey mixture into the breast in several locations. Drizzle another 1/4 of the mixture on top of the breast. Season with pepper. I do not use salt because it can draw out some of the moisture of the turkey and it really doesn't need it. 4 If you don't have an injector, just pour about 1/2 of the mixture on the breast and then season with pepper. 5 Place the sprig of rosemary across the top of the breast. 6 Place in an oven preheated to 325 f until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 160. This took our oven about 2 hours but keep a close eye on it so you don't dry it into turkey jerkey instead of turkey breast. At about 45 minutes, baste it with some of the remaining butter/wine/honey mixture. At 1hour and 15 minutes start basting it every 30 minutes with the juices from the pan. 7 Remove at 160 degrees, discard the rosemary, and wrap the breast in foil for at least 15 minutes but will stay warm for much longer.

Tips:

  • Thaw the turkey breast completely before cooking. This will ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Use a good quality honey. The flavor of the honey will come through in the glaze, so it's important to use one that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough to coat the turkey breast. If the glaze is too thin, it will run off the turkey and not caramelize properly.
  • Baste the turkey breast frequently during cooking. This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey breast.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed turkey breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy a succulent and flavorful turkey breast that will be the star of your next meal.
