Maple Orange-Glazed Turkey Roast image

This turkey roast blends light and dark meat -- but it's compact and carves easily into neat slices. Grill the meat to free up oven space for the turkey trimmings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed

1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
1 (2 1/2-3 1/2 lb) boneless turkey breast
2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • Cook and stir 1 minute more.
  • Stir in maple syrup and orange peel; set aside.
  • Brush the turkey roast with melted butter and rub with remaining seasoning mixture.
  • Insert a meat thermometer near the center of the roast.
  • For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan.

  • Remove meat from grill.
  • Cover with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The meat's temperature will rise 5F during standing).

I was a bit skeptical about the orange in the glaze, but it really works! It adds a brightness to the dish that complements the maple perfectly.
