ROSEMARY TURKEY BREAST



Rosemary Turkey Breast image

I season turkey with a blend of rosemary, garlic and paprika. Because I rub half of the mixture directly on the meat under the skin, I can remove the skin before serving and not lose any of the flavor. The result is an entree that's lower in fat, yet delicious-the perfect centerpiece for holiday meals. -Dorothy Pritchett, Wills Point, Texas

TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY



Turkey Breast Roulade With Garlic and Rosemary image

Ina Garten has been known as the Barefoot Contessa since she opened a gourmet store by that name in East Hampton, N.Y., in 1985. She shared this recipe from her book "Modern Comfort Food" with The Times for Thanksgiving in 2020, when many cooks were looking for alternatives to whole turkey. If you don't like fennel seeds, leave them out: Garlic, sage and rosemary give this roast the flavors of Italian porchetta, and it will still be fragrant, juicy and delicious without them.

Categories     poultry, roasts, main course

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3/4 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
6 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves, plus 4 whole sage leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 whole butterflied boneless, skin-on turkey breast (about 4 to 5 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1 cup dry white wine, such as Chablis

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chopped sage and the rosemary; set aside to cool.
  • Set the turkey breast on a cutting board and open it up, skin side down. If necessary, pound the turkey to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Sprinkle the turkey with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Once the onion mixture has cooled, spread it evenly on the meat. Grate the butter and sprinkle it on top. Arrange the prosciutto on top to totally cover the filling and meat.
  • Starting at one long end of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down. Tie the roulade tightly with kitchen twine at 2 to 2 1/2-inch intervals to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip the whole sage leaves under the twine down the center of the roulade.
  • Place the roulade, seam side down, in a roasting pan and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup water into the roasting pan, surrounding the turkey with the liquids without pouring them directly over the roulade. Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees.
  • Remove from the oven, cover the turkey with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the string, slice the roulade crosswise in 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve warm with the pan juices.

¾ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

ROAST TURKEY WITH ROSEMARY AND LEMON



Roast Turkey with Rosemary and Lemon image

Flavorful rosemary-lemon oil is great for the turkey-it helps create crispy, golden-brown and an aromatic, earthy flavor. You can also use it to season vegetables before roasting or after steaming, or to dress up a vinaigrette.

Tips for Making the Best Roast Turkey Breast with Rosemary and Garlic:

- Selecting the Right Turkey Breast: Choose a fresh, high-quality turkey breast that is evenly shaped and has no signs of damage or bruising. Look for a turkey breast that is about 3-4 pounds, which is a good size for a small gathering. - Brining the Turkey Breast: Brining the turkey breast helps to keep it moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey breast, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of sugar in a gallon of water. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to overnight. - Preparing the Rosemary and Garlic: Finely chop the rosemary leaves and mince the garlic cloves. You can use fresh or dried rosemary, but fresh rosemary will give you the best flavor. - Rubbing the Turkey Breast: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels before rubbing it with the rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure to get the rub all over the turkey breast, including the underside. - Roasting the Turkey Breast: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the turkey breast on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to help keep the turkey breast moist. Roast the turkey breast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). - Resting the Turkey Breast: Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey breast.

Conclusion:

Roast turkey breast with rosemary and garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey breast is moist, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or stuffing.
