CIDER MARINATED TURKEY BREAST
I came up with this marinade from several different recipes. The brine gives the turkey a great flavor and it always comes out moist and yummy. You could also use a whole turkey as well. Whenever I make it I always get requests for the recipe. It even passed the "Mom test"; she says it's better than hers.

FRANNY'S MARINATED TURKEY BREAST WITH CORIANDER-LIME SAUCE
Steps:
- Cut the meat off the bone and remove the skin. Combine the marinade ingredients, and stir to blend well. Add the halved turkey breast, turning both pieces to coat well on both sides. Cover, and marinade in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. To make the coriander lime sauce, place all the ingredients except the peanut oil in droplets until the mixture is thick, then add the rest of the oil in a thin stream. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more lime juice. Preheat broiler for 10 minutes. Transfer the turkey to a shallow roasting pan. Broil 2 inches from the heat source for about 10 minutes, or until nicely brown. Pour the marinade over the turkey breast, lower oven temp to only 375, then place in the oven, and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Remove from the over, and cool for 10 minutes to settle the juices. Slice the turkey and arrange the pieces on a platter and garnish with parsley. Serve the sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Use a good quality turkey breast: Look for a turkey breast that is fresh and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the turkey breast is juicy and flavorful.
- Brine the turkey breast overnight: Brining the turkey breast helps to keep it moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey breast, simply dissolve 1 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of water. Place the turkey breast in the brine and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the turkey breast its flavor. There are many different marinades that you can use, so choose one that you think your family will enjoy. Some popular marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the turkey breast to perfection: The best way to cook a turkey breast is to roast it in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the turkey breast for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey breast rest before slicing: After the turkey breast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey breast, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Marinated turkey breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your marinated turkey breast is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
