Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (6 pound) bone-in turkey breast
½ cup salted butter, melted
½ cup dry white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground paprika
1 ½ cups chicken broth, or to taste
4 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place turkey breast, skin side-up, on a rack in a large, shallow roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast, being certain that the tip does not touch the bone.
  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, mix melted butter, wine, garlic, rosemary, basil, parsley, thyme, olive oil, salt, and paprika together in a bowl. Brush 1/2 of the mixture over the turkey and roast for 30 minutes. Brush remaining butter mixture over turkey, and roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove turkey from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a 2-cup liquid measure. Skim fat from the surface, then add enough chicken broth to measure 2 cups liquid. Transfer to a small saucepan.
  • Bring broth mixture to a boil. Stir cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; pour into the broth mixture and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until gravy thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve gravy with turkey.

SAVORY GLAZE RECIPE FOR HAM OR TURKEY BREAST



Savory Glaze Recipe for Ham or Turkey Breast image

This is a different variation to the classic glaze recipe for fully cooked spiral sliced ham and turkey breast because it uses mustard to help the mixture adhere to the meat as well as to add a savory flavor.

Provided by pam of pams-hams.com

Categories     Ham

Time 10m

Yield 14-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup brown sugar (I like the more crystallized one)
1/2 cup brown mustard

Steps:

  • Blend and spread on the ham. Put the coated ham on a plate or lazy susan so you can spin it. Use a mini torch with lowest flame to caramelize the mixture. Wave it quickly so the mixture bubbles but does not burn. May take about 10 minutes if you are being slow and careful.
  • There are two main options for glazing without a torch. The first is with the broiler and the second is with the stove top. The broiler method involves putting your oven on the broiler option WITH THE DOORS OPEN while you are taking the time to roll the ham or turkey breast in the sugar-mixture. It is important that you aren't heating the oven up because you don't want to cook the meat more - just caramelize the sugar. (best to make sure the rack is in place before turning on broiler). Once the coils are red hot, place the meat in the oven under that area where the coil goes back around and place it as close to the coils as possible without actually touching. Do not step away from the oven. Once you see the sugar bubbling, remove it. If you wait any longer it will start to burn.
  • The stove top method is to carefully cook the sugar mixture in a pan and then pour a thin layer over the ham or turkey breast. To caramelize the sugar mixture, place the sugar mixture in a heavy skillet or saucepan. Heat and stir over low heat until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown. This one generally ends up with the thickest "crust" but is preferred by those who are afraid of experimenting directly on the ham or turkey. (if they wreck the sugar mixture, they throw it out and start over but it never touched the meat.).
