Orange Glazed Turkey Breast

Orange Glazed Turkey Breast

This flavorful turkey breast is compact and delicious, and it's perfect for a small family. Or, roast this turkey breast for the great sandwiches and leftovers you'll have for a few days.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 turkey breast, bone-in, about 5 to 7 pounds
  • vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper
  • -
  • Glaze
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 ounces orange juice concentrate (about 3/4 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger

Preparation:

Heat oven to 325°.

Rub turkey breast lightly with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 2 to 3 1/4 hours, depending on size of the turkey breast (stuffed will take longer). The cooking time guide should be on the turkey breast packaging. A meat thermometer will reach 170° when the turkey is done. If necessary, tent with a piece of buttered or oiled foil during the last hour. Baste with glaze (below) a few times the last 20 minutes of cooking time. Let turkey stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Glaze: In a small saucepan combine glaze ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

"The glaze sets this recipe apart from the rest. Adds flavor and sweetness to an otherwise bland poultry dish. Making sandwiches with the leftovers and adding yellow mustard makes it a ""sweet & sour"" flavorful meal."
