Turkey Breast With Garlic Roasted Potatoes Recipes

SIMPLE MOIST ONE PAN ROAST TURKEY AND POTATOES (DRY BRINED)

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients of the brine and combine well.
• Slather all over the turkey, including lifting up the skin to make sure that you can separate the skin from the breast to nestle that brine in there for maximum flavor.
• Place into the fridge in a large foil pan for 24-72 hours. Make sure to rotate the turkey every 24 hours so that it brines evenly. Since it is so cold now, I use my garage when I have a giant turkey that will not fit into my fridge.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• On roasting day, remove the turkey out of the brine and rinse it inside and out with water.
• Tuck the wings underneath the bird and place in roasting pan (or foil pan) on top of a sheet pan or roasting pan. (I do this in the event that there is spillage. No one wants to clean ovens on Thanksgiving Day)
• Before placing it in the oven, take a piece of foil and measure it on the bird into a little triangle. You want it to just cover the breast. Place the triangle to the side, it will be used a bit later on.
• Place the turkey onto the lowest rack in the oven and let it roast for 30 minutes and 500 degrees. NO PEEKING! Because it is roasting on such a high temperature, all the juices that fall into your roasting pan may evaporate off and start to burn. During this time you want to add in your chicken stock just a bit at a time, so that your bits don't burn. This can be done throughout the entire cooking process to prevent the bits from burning and leaving perfect pan juices for the potatoes.
• After the first half hour, take out the turkey and cover the breast with your pre-measured foil.
• Insert a probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Set your probe thermometer alarm to 151 degrees F and walk away. (A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting.)
• Once it's done, remove it from the pan and place it on a large cutting board and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes, covered with foil.
• At this point, while the turkey is roasting, increase the heat to 450-degrees and add the potatoes and garlic cloves to the pan. Roast until oven brown and fork tender, about 30-35 minutes.
• Carve and serve!

ROAST TURKEY BREAST WITH GLAZED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, the honey and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl. Put the potatoes, parsnips, fennel slices, onion, dried apricots and rosemary sprigs in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, drizzle with the honey mixture and toss. Roast until the vegetables soften, about 30 minutes, stirring once.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, lemon zest and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture under and over the turkey skin. Season with salt and pepper and bring the meat to room temperature.
• Place the turkey on top of the vegetables in the pan; roast until the skin browns and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. (Cover with foil if the skin is getting too dark.) Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes.
• Toss the roasted vegetables with the lemon juice and fennel fronds. Slice the turkey and serve with the vegetables.

Fill a turkey injector with chicken broth mixture (you will have to refill injector several times). Inject small amounts of solution at regular intervals all over turkey, taking care to remove injector from turkey before refilling. Refrigerate turkey for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together garlic, herbs, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Using your fingertips, gently loosen skin on both sides of turkey breast so that it is separated from the flesh. Divide garlic mixture evenly and spread under skin on each side of breast. Season turkey all over with remaining teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper; brush skin with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil.
• Transfer turkey to oven and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour. Tent turkey with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and continue to roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 40 minutes more. Remove turkey from oven and let stand 20 minutes before carving.
