roast turkey breast

This Turkey Breast is wet-brined overnight, for maximum flavor and moisture, basted in butter then roasted to perfection. This Brined Roast Turkey Breast is what Thanksgiving dreams are made of!

Brined Roast Turkey Breast

water

salt

brown sugar (packed)

garlic (smashed)

cinnamon

sage (fresh)

rosemary

lemons

orange

onions

turkey breast (bone in, thawed)

salt (or

tsp pepper (or

butter

chicken broth (low sodium

pan drippings

cornstarch

Add the water to a large pot and bring it to a boil. For the orange, peel it using a potato peeler or a knife, then cut it in half. Cut the lemon in half and juice it. Add the remaining&nbsp;brine ingredients together (excluding the ice) and bring to a boil to dissolve all the salt and sugar. Add the lemon halves and orange halves after they've been juiced to the brine as well, they will provide more flavor. Remove from heat and cool completely. To speed this up add about 4 cups of ice to the brine. I used my instant pot for this but any big pot that will fit the brine and the breast will work.

Once the brine is cooled, place the turkey breast in the brine making sure it's fully submerged in it. You may have to weigh it down with another pot of water. What I did is wrapped the pot with plastic wrap, then placed a plate over it, and then a pot of water over the plate. This worked for me because the brine and turkey came up to the top of the pot. Another option is to use a brick or rock wrapped in plastic wrap. Store it in the fridge overnight or at least for 12 hours, so make sure you have enough room in your fridge.

Brining the Turkey Breast

Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees. Remove the turkey breast from the brine solution and pat it dry with paper towels.

Place the quartered onions and smashed garlic in a large metal roasting pan then place the turkey breast on top of the onions. Season it generously with salt and pepper on both sides.&nbsp;

Brush the turkey with melted butter, keep remaining butter for basting later. Add the chicken broth to the pan.&nbsp;

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place the roasting pan in the oven. Cook covered for 1 1/2 hours, basting with the melted butter (remelt again if necessary) every half hour. After 1 1/2 hours, remove the aluminum foil and roast for another 1 hour or until golden brown. The breast is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast registers at 165 degrees F.

Transfer the turkey breast to a platter or cutting board and let it rest for a full 15 minutes before slicing into it.

Roasting the Turkey Breast

Skim some of the fat from the pan drippings if necessary.

Place the pan on the stove over medium-high heat. In a little bowl whisk together the cornstarch with the water, then add it to the pan. Whisk everything together. If the gravy is too thin and you prefer a thicker consistency, feel free to add more cornstarch until you reach the desired consistency. Cook for a few minutes, until the gravy thickens a bit. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary.

Strain all the liquid into a bowl, then press all the liquid out of the onion and garlic using a spatula, for additional flavor.

Roasted turkey breast is quicker to make than a whole turkey, but will still easily serve six. It&#8217;s unbelievably moist and juicy, too. It&#8217;s easiest to use a roasting pan with a rack. Since we&#8217;re only roasting the breast, the rack keep the breast upright. It is possible to roast turkey breast without a roasting pan and rack. In our photos, you&#8217;ll notice we used a baking dish without a rack. You can do this, as well. Use a dish that just fits the turkey breast, place it into the dish then if you find it to be unstable, use slices of orange to prop the breast up a little so it stands tall. (Instead of orange slices, try lemon or onion slices or even carrots).

This came out perfectly, without a doubt the best turkey I've made. It wasn't the least bit dry, and it was full of flavor.
