Steps:
- For the turkey: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups apple cider, 1/4 cup salt, the thyme and rosemary. Add the turkey breast and enough cold water to cover the bird. Cover and let brine in the refrigerator 2 hours.
- Position the oven racks in the top and bottom of a countertop oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. (For Ninja Foodi - the setting is "Air Roast 425 degrees F)
- Saute the onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the peaches, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons apple cider. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until the peaches break down and the glaze thickens, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the turkey from the brine and pat dry with paper towels (discard the brine). Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Place the turkey in an 11.5-by-14-inch roasting pan. Cook on the bottom rack until the skin begins to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and brush the top generously with the glaze (For the Ninja grill it was "Air Roast 350 degrees F). Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let the turkey rest at least 10 minutes. Its temperature will continue to rise.
- For the stuffing: Meanwhile, mix the stuffing mix with the parsley in a large bowl and set aside.
- Add the butter, celery, onion, thyme, sage and garlic to a large pan over medium heat. Season with a pinch of salt and a nice grind of pepper. Cook until the onions and celery are tender, but the garlic is not browned, about 10 minutes. Remove to the bowl of bread cubes. Pour the stock over the bread and veggie mixture and stir to combine (this is a wet dressing, so it should be very moist).
- Transfer the mixture to a 12-by-8-inch baking dish. Press down to make it compact, and then cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake on the top rack at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes, then raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes more. (For Ninja foodi it was "Air Roast 350 degrees F).
BRINED TURKEY BREAST WITH PEACH ROSEMARY GLAZE
This makes such delicious and moist turkey! I have changed the glaze before using dark cherries and cranberries instead of the peaches and that is scrumptious as well. I had to roast it longer to get to 165 degrees, about 40 minutes more, so you may want to plan on extra time. Prep time does not include brining time. This is from Sunny Anderson of Food Network.

Steps:
- Let the turkey sit out for about 1 hour to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the packet of neck and giblets and set aside. Cut away any fatty pieces near the cavity or neck of the bird and discard. Pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper inside and out. Combine the butter and chopped rosemary. Loosen the skin over the breast of the turkey and push half of the butter mixture under the skin and over the breast meat. Rub the skin of the turkey with the rest of the butter mixture. Stuff the cavity of the turkey with the lemons and rosemary sprigs. Tie the legs together with twine. Tuck the wings under the body of the turkey and put it, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast the turkey until it begins to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Loosely tent the breast with foil, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Continue cooking until the internal temperature near the thigh joint reaches about 155 degrees F. Remove the foil and continue roasting until it reaches 165 degrees F in the thigh joint, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer the turkey and rack to a cutting board and let rest about 30 minutes.
- Present the turkey whole on a platter garnished with the lemons from inside the cavity. To carve, first remove the wishbone, then legs, thighs and wings, and thinly slice the breast meat on an angle to serve.

Steps:
- For the brine: Combine 8 quarts cold water, the salt, sugar, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery and onions in a large container. Immerse the turkey in the brine and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days.
- To prepare the turkey for cooking: Remove the turkey from the brine the night before roasting and pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. Combine the butter, rosemary and some salt in a small bowl. Taste it to make sure it tastes good. Work the butter under the skin of the turkey and massage it into the breasts and the legs. Massage the butter on the outside of the skin as well. Tie the legs together and over the breast so they will protect it during cooking to help keep it moist and juicy. Place the turkey on a sheet tray and refrigerate overnight UNCOVERED! Yes, that's right, uncovered. This will help the skin dry out and become really brown and crispy. Pay close attention not to have any food that will not be cooked near the turkey in the fridge.
- Thanksgiving Day: Take the turkey out of the fridge 1 hour before placing in the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- For the gravy: Place the garlic, celery, onions, celery root, fennel, bay leaves, sage and thyme in a roasting pan and season with salt. Put the chicken stock and wine in the bottom of the roasting pan and place the turkey on top.
- Put the turkey in the oven until the skin of the turkey gets really nice and brown, about 40 minutes. Lower the heat of the oven to 350 degrees F for the remainder of the cooking time. Baste the turkey every 30 minutes or so and add more stock to the roasting pan if needed. Think about 17 minutes per pound for the turkey. Tent the turkey with aluminum foil when it gets to the proper color to prevent it from getting too dark.
- Remove the turkey from the oven when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the turkey reads 160 degrees F. Be sure the thermometer is not touching a bone when doing the reading.
- When the turkey has reached the proper temperature, remove it from the roasting pan and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- To finish the gravy: Remove the bay leaves, sage and thyme and from the roasting pan. Using an immersion blender, blend the veggies together until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (it will).
- Carve the turkey, and don't fight over the drumsticks.
- Give thanks for such a great turkey!!!

ROSEMARY TURKEY BREAST
I season turkey with a blend of rosemary, garlic and paprika. Because I rub half of the mixture directly on the meat under the skin, I can remove the skin before serving and not lose any of the flavor. The result is an entree that's lower in fat, yet delicious-the perfect centerpiece for holiday meals. -Dorothy Pritchett, Wills Point, Texas
