GARLIC HERB BONELESS SKINLESS TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place the turkey breast on a plate or board and pat it dry with paper kitchen towels.
• In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper until the herbs are distributed throughout the butter.
• Rub the butter mixture all over the turkey breast, top and bottom, making sure every inch is coated in butter.
• Place the coated turkey breast in a shallow casserole dish or baking dish and roast at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 90 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of the breast reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 Celsius).
• Remove the turkey breast from the oven and cover with aluminum foil (leave it in the pan). Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve.

VERA'S ROAST TURKEY BREAST WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Trim turkey breast of any fat.
• In a small bowl combine olive oil with garlic, thyme, mustard, lemon peel, salt and pepper. Rub into turkey breast.
• Marinate in the refrigerator from 1 hour to 12 hours.
• Arrange turkey breast, skin side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or tinfoil.
• Roast at 350F for 50 to 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the breast reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
• Remove turkey from oven to a carving board and tent with tinfoil. Place juices in a medium skillet (could drain off some of the fat) add lemon juice (perhaps use less if some of the fat drained off) and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
• Carve turkey into thin slices across the breast. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with fresh thyme.

• Roast uncovered 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Brush one-third of apple juice mixture over turkey.
• Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes longer, brushing generously with apple juice mixture every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads at least 165°F. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes for easiest carving.
