Roasted Turkey Breast

I was going to make this last night because I saw in the ad that Publix was going to have "young turkey breast" $1.59 a pound. I got to the store and it was frozen. I don't buy turkey...ever...so I didn't expect it to be frozen like a Thanksgiving turkey. And besides being frozen, it was also bone-in. The boneless turkey breast was $7.99 (for about 3 lbs.), but it was also frozen. So, needless to say I didn't make it. I made the hashbrown casserole and scrambled eggs! This recipe looked so good, though, so I wanted to post it anyway. This would be great for a meal any time of year, but especially around the Holidays. Be sure to leave a comment if you do try this one. Check out the link a the bottom because the reviews sound fantastic!

1 3-lb. turkey breast
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 10-oz. can chicken broth
1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Place turkey breast in a roasting pan. You can use a foil-lined 13 X 9 inch pan. Combine melted butter and chicken broth. Pour over turkey. Rub mayo all over turkey's exterior. You can add optional seasonings at this point. The mayo will help the seasoning stick to the turkey.

Roast at 300-325 degrees until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Raise the temperature to 350 for the last 45 to crisp the skin. (I was going to cook at 300 for one hour, then raise the temp to 350 for the last hour. Fingers crossed the bird is done by then!)

Remove from oven and let sit for 30 minutes before slicing.

Note: Because the butter and broth are for making gravy, if you need to make a lot of gravy, double the amount of broth.


This looks so yummy! Please remember to comment if you try this!
