Turkey Breast With Stuffing image

Turkey breast can be seasoned all sorts of ways and served with various stuffings. I cook the stuffing separately, which lets me monitor the breast's doneness more precisely. When a meat thermometer in the center of the breast reaches 160 degrees, it is done. Let it rest, covered, 10 minutes or so before carving. This recipe originally appeared with corn bread-sausage stuffing.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried

2 medium-size whole onions, peeled, about 1/3 pound
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, fresh or canned

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and thyme. Blend well. Sprinkle and rub this mixture inside and outside the breast.
