Serves 6-8
1 bone-in turkey breast, about 3 pounds
Apple-Honey Glaze
Fresh rosemary sprigs, garnish
1-2 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp marjoram
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place turkey breast in a small roasting pan. Loosen the skin and place butter underneath. Mix herbs together and sprinkle under skin. Pour glaze over turkey. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour, basting with juices several times while baking.
Cover and bake 30 minutes more until the juices run clear or a meat thermometer registers 150°F. Remove from oven and let stand, lightly covered, for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Transfer to a warmed platter and slice. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve. Use drippings to make gravy, if desired.
Apple-Honey Glaze
1/2 cup apple juice
1 Tbsp honey
2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
I made a little gravy from the pan juices. I added some chicken stock and water to get to about a cup and a half. I thickened it with a flour paste. I also had some fresh mushrooms in the refrigerator so I sauted them in butter until softened. Then I added a splash of sherry and let them simmer on a very low temperature. I added the mushrooms to the gravy...yum!
