Time 4h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 cup honey
½ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Rinse the turkey, and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey with olive oil, inside and out.
  • Mix 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and the thyme in a small bowl, and sprinkle the turkey with the mixture.
  • Place the turkey on a rack set in a roasting pan, and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
  • In a bowl, stir together the honey, melted butter, sage, parsley, basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Brush the turkey with the honey glaze, and return to the oven.
  • Roast the turkey until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 more hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Continue to brush the turkey with the honey glaze frequently as it roasts. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

HERB ROASTED TURKEY BREAST



Herb Roasted Turkey Breast image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3-pound boneless, skin-on turkey breast
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 sweet onion, cut into 1/3-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the turkey breast from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Cut 3 pieces of kitchen twine and set aside.
  • Add the butter, parsley, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a small bowl. Use a fork or a rubber spatula to incorporate all of the ingredients into the butter. Set aside.
  • Pat the turkey breast dry. Using clean hands, starting at one end of the breast, slide your fingers under the skin to create a pocket between the meat and the skin. Use your hands to transfer the butter into the pocket and smooth the butter into an even layer.
  • Use the kitchen twine to tie the turkey horizontally in 3 places. This will help the turkey breast cook evenly and remain juicy. Flip the turkey breast so that it is skin-side down. Drizzle it with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Flip the turkey over and repeat the same seasoning process.
  • Arrange the onion slices on a small rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/3 cup water into the baking sheet and place the turkey breast on top of the onions. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the oven and baste it with the butter and juices from the baking sheet. Continue to roast until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F, another 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the turkey to cool for 15 minutes. (In this time the internal temperature will rise another 5 degrees.)
  • Slice the turkey and serve it with the roasted onions.

Tips:

  • Brining the turkey breasts: This step is optional, but it helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful. If you choose to brine the turkey breasts, be sure to do so for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • Roasting the turkey breasts: Roast the turkey breasts at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (30-35 minutes). This will help to keep the turkey breasts moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Glazing the onions: While the turkey breasts are roasting, glaze the onions in a mixture of butter, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. This will help to caramelize the onions and give them a sweet and savory flavor.
  • Serving the turkey breasts: Serve the roasted turkey breasts with the glazed onions and your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green beans.

Conclusion:

This recipe for roasted herb turkey breasts with glazed onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The turkey breasts are moist and flavorful, and the glazed onions are a sweet and savory complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
