Time 2h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bone-in whole turkey breast (4 1/4 to 5 lb), thawed if frozen
1/2 cup apple juice or dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. On rack in large shallow roasting pan, place turkey breast, skin side up. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of breast and does not touch bone.
  • Roast uncovered 30 minutes.
  • In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Brush one-third of apple juice mixture over turkey.
  • Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes longer, brushing generously with apple juice mixture every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads at least 165°F. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes for easiest carving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I made a turkey sandwich with the leftovers, and it was delicious. The thyme flavor really came through in the sandwich.

I'm not a huge fan of thyme, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The thyme flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the turkey. The turkey was also very juicy and tender.
