Roast Turkey Breast with Cranberry Marinade image

This Roast Turkey Breast with Cranberry Marinade is perfect for a small holiday dinner or any day of the week! Easy to prep ahead and great for meal prepping!

Provided by Ashley Fehr

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cranberry juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
2 boneless turkey breasts ((about 1lb each))
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together cranberry juice, oil, maple syrup, cider vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley.
  • Place both turkey breasts in a large FoodSaver® vacuum seal bag and add the marinade.
  • Place in the freezer, standing upright with the opening at the top, and freeze until frozen solid.
  • Place the open end of the FoodSaver® vacuum seal bag into the vacuum sealer and press to seal.
  • Return to the freezer to cook later, or place in the refrigerator to thaw overnight before roasting. (To thaw quickly, place in a sink of cold water, and refresh the water every 30 minutes -- this should help the turkey breast to thaw in a couple of hours).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place turkey breasts in a single layer in a large baking dish, pour in 1/2 cup water, and roast for 40-60 minutes, until a meat thermometer in the thickest parts reach 165 degrees F. If skin is browning quickly, cover the pan with foil half way through the cook time. If the juices are browning quickly in the pan, add an additional 1/2 cup water.
  • Remove turkey breasts from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Roasted Turkey Breast with Creamy Gravy and Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 full or 2 split boneless skin-on turkey breasts
2 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup minced fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, thyme and rosemary
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
One 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 cinnamon stick
1 strip orange rind
1 pomegranate
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Steamed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • For the roasted turkey breast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the turkey on a baking rack over a baking sheet. Combine the garlic and softened butter with the herbs and lemon juice. Slather about 5 tablespoons of the garlic-herb butter over the turkey breast and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, reserving the remaining garlic-herb butter for the gravy. Roast the turkey 45 minutes.
  • For the cranberry pomegranate sauce: Meanwhile, place the cranberries in a medium saucepot with the sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, orange rind and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and cook until all the berries pop and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Cool and remove the rind and cinnamon stick. Peel the pomegranate in a bowl of water, separating the seeds, and drain. Add the pomegranate seeds into the sauce.
  • For the creamy gravy: Right before serving the turkey, melt the remaining garlic-herb butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour, followed by the stock, to thicken. Whisk in the Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and cheese, and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Slice the roasted turkey breast and serve with the room temperature sauce and warm gravy, with steamed greens on the side.
  • Cook's Note: If the turkey is a make-ahead meal, you will need an extra 1 cup stock for reheating. Place the turkey in a low baking dish with the extra 1 cup stock and loosely cover with foil. Reheat at 350 degrees F 20 to 25 minutes, then crisp up the skin under the broiler.
  • This recipe will result in leftovers for sandwiches.

By the turn of the century, the North American turkey had become familiar British fare, replacing the traditional goose at many an English Christmas table. Here it is presented in classic American style with bread stuffing and accompanied by cranberry sauce, which at this period was more like a sauce than a preserve.

ROAST TURKEY & CRANBERRY WELLINGTON



Roast turkey & cranberry wellington image

A festive twist on the classic British dish of beef wellington, rich with chestnuts and stuffing

Provided by Gary Rhodes

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1x2-2.5kg/4lb 8oz-5lb 8oz turkey breast , skin removed
2-3 tbsp cooking oil , plus extra for greasing
16-20 thin rashers rindless streaky bacon
450g puff pastry , home-made or bought
flour , for dusting
1 egg , beaten
2 onions , finely chopped
knob of butter
350g turkey trimmings (from breast)
225g pork sausage , skinned
2 eggs
150g dried cranberry , chopped
150g unsweetened chestnut purée
100g fresh white breadcrumb
25g butter , plus extra for the shallots
50g shallot or onions, sliced
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
400ml red wine (about ½ bottle)
300ml water or chicken stock made with 1/8 stock cube
1heaped tsp plain flour

Steps:

  • Trim the turkey breast. Its natural shape does not suit the rolled and wrapped wellington. The thicker neck end can first be trimmed to establish a more cylindrical shape. Trimmings from 2kg/4lb 8oz breasts and upwards, will be enough for the 350g/12oz needed for stuffing. Once trimmed, tie the breast with a 2cm/1in gap between each loop of string, to give a rounded shape.
  • Heat 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large frying pan or roasting tray. Season the turkey before pan frying until golden brown all over. Remove from the pan and cool. The breast can now be refrigerated to firm up before removing the string.
  • Make the stuffing: cook the onions in a knob of butter for a few minutes until softened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Roughly chop the turkey trimmings before blitzing in a food processor until smooth. Add sausages and continue to blitz for 30-40 seconds until mixed in. Season and add the eggs. These can be blitzed into the meat for a further minute until the texture thickens.
  • Spoon the stuffing into a large bowl. Mix in the onions and remaining stuffing ingredients along with extra seasoning, if desired. The stuffing can now be chilled while the bacon and pastry are prepared.
  • The streaky bacon needs to be rolled thinner. This extends the length of the rashers helping them to wrap around the turkey and stuffing. The easiest method to follow is to lay 3-5 rashers between two sheets of cling film and press with a rolling pin as if rolling pastry. The rashers will easily thin and extend this way. Peel away the top layer of film and remove the rashers and put on a tray. Repeat until all rashers are pressed. Chill until needed.
  • Roll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle approximately 45 x 35cm/18 x 14in. The rashers of bacon can be laid on top of the pastry, leaving a 3-4cm/1½in border all round. Slightly overlap the rashers as they are laid on the pastry (you'll need about 14-15 rashers).
  • Spread the cranberry stuffing over the bacon, first mixing it well if it is chilled and set. Keep back a few heaped tablespoons. Remove the string from the turkey and lay the breast lengthwise and presentation side down on top of the stuffing. The reserved stuffing can now be spread along the centre top of the turkey. Lift 4-5 rashers at a time and press them against the breast. Continue until all the rashers on both sides have been lifted and pressed. The remaining rashers can now be laid lengthwise along the top, covering the stuffing that was spread there.
  • Bring one long side of the pastry up and over the turkey. Brush the other long side with beaten egg, along the 3-4cm/1½in border, then seal. Brush both ends with beaten egg and fold up to seal in all the ingredients. Turn the wellington so that the presentation side is up and put on a lightly oiled baking tray, or one covered with greased parchment. Chill.
  • To cook the wellington: preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/170C in a fan assisted convection oven and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes maximum. After 45 minutes, brush the wellington with egg to help colour the pastry. For the most golden of finishes, brush again before the last 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven and rest for 15-20 minutes before lifting carefully on to a carving board with two large fish slices.
  • While the Wellington is baking the sauce can be made: melt a knob of butter in a pan, once bubbling add the shallots or onions and cook on a medium high heat until a rich deep golden colour. Add the honey and continue to cook for a few minutes until bubbling and almost caramelising. At this point add the red wine vinegar and red wine. Bring to the boil and reduce by half. Add the water or stock and return to simmer. Mix the flour with 25g/1oz butter. Whisk into the sauce a little at a time until completely whisked in. Return the sauce to the boil before reducing to a simmer and cooking for a few minutes. Strain through a sieve and season. Slice the wellington and serve with noisette potatoes and buttered Brussels sprouts.

Tips:

  • Use a roasting pan with a rack: This will allow the turkey breast to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Roast the turkey breast at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Baste the turkey breast with butter or oil: This will help to keep the turkey moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the turkey breast rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
  • Use a sharp carving knife: This will help to ensure that you get clean, even slices of turkey.
  • Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and stuffing are all classic options.

Conclusion:

Roast turkey breast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for dinner, lunch, or even breakfast.
