ROSEMARY TURKEY BREAST
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

Steps:
- Season the turkey breast on both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 24 hours on a metal rack in a baking sheet.
- Bring the turkey breast to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the white wine to a boil. Pour over the dried cranberries and apricots in a large heatsafe bowl. Allow to cool and the fruit to absorb some of the liquid, about 1 hour.
- In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the pan begins to lightly smoke, season the turkey with more kosher salt and pepper. Place the turkey in the pan skin-side down. When it begins to brown, flip the turkey, add the garlic, rosemary and 3 tablespoons of the butter and baste for 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and roast until the internal temperature registers 155 degrees F, 35 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the breast. Set the turkey aside skin-side up to rest for about 1 hour.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the shallots and dried fruit with the wine and cook until the liquid is almost evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Finish with the vinegar, sage, lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Slice the turkey, arrange on a large serving dish and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with flaky sea salt.

The Ingredients:
The ingredients for this recipe include:
- Turkey breast
- Apricots
- Fresh Rosemary
- Olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
Turkey Breast:
The turkey breast should be boneless and skinless. It is important to choose high-quality meat to ensure the best possible flavor and texture. You can purchase the turkey breast from your local grocery store or meat market.
Apricots:
Fresh apricots are best for this recipe, but you can also use canned apricots if fresh ones are not available. The apricots add a sweetness to the dish and are a great source of vitamins and minerals.
Rosemary:
Fresh rosemary is essential to this recipe. Rosemary is a fragrant herb that adds an earthy and slightly woodsy flavor to the dish. It is a great source of antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil is used to marinate the turkey breast and for grilling. It is a healthy source of fat and adds to the flavor of the dish.
Salt and Pepper:
Salt and pepper are used to season the turkey breast and apricots. They also enhance the other flavors in the dish.
Preparation:
The preparation for this recipe is fairly simple and can be completed in a few steps.
Step 1: Marinating the Turkey Breast
Start by preparing the turkey breast. Place the turkey breast in a large bowl or dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour olive oil over the turkey breast and add fresh rosemary. Make sure the turkey is well coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl or dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Step 2: Preparing the Apricots
While the turkey is marinating, prepare the apricots. Cut the apricots in half and remove the seeds. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Step 3: Grilling the Turkey and Apricots
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the turkey breast from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. During the last few minutes of grilling, add the apricots to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are slightly caramelized.
Step 4: Letting the Turkey Rest
After grilling, remove the turkey breast from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, creating a more tender and juicy turkey breast.
Serving:
Once the turkey breast has rested, slice it into thin pieces and serve with the grilled apricots on the side. This dish can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It is delicious when paired with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Apricot rosemary grilled turkey breast is a healthy, delicious, and easy to make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the sweetness of apricots and the earthy flavor of rosemary adds dimension to this dish. With only a few ingredients, this dish is not only delicious but healthy as well. It is a great option for those who love grilled meats but want to maintain a healthy diet.
