Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bone-in whole turkey breast (5 to 7 lb), thawed if frozen
3 cloves garlic
1 jalapeño chile, cut in half, seeded
3 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons gold tequila
6 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Place turkey breast, skin side up, in shallow roasting pan.
  • In mini food processor, place garlic and jalapeño. Cover; process until finely chopped. Add chili powder, salt, pepper, oil, 2 tablespoons of the tequila and 2 tablespoons of the lime juice. Cover; process, using on-and-off pulses, until smooth.
  • Loosen turkey skin, using fingers or spoon; rub garlic mixture under and over turkey skin. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of breast and does not touch bone.
  • Pour orange juice, broth and remaining 1/4 cup each tequila and lime juice into roasting pan.
  • Roast uncovered 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes or until thermometer reads at least 165°F. Place turkey on warm platter; cover with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. Spoon pan juices over turkey; garnish with lime wedges.

The turkey breast was a bit bland. I think I would add more herbs and spices to the marinade next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder or cayenne pepper next time.

The turkey breast was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might try brining the turkey breast next time to help keep it moist.
