Description

Less than 5 ingredients! Turkey is a great, versatile protein and the biggest bonus is that one turkey breast makes enough for a double duty dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Turkey Breast, About 6 Pounds
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Pepper
  • ¼ cups Orange Juice Concentrate
  • ¼ cups Bourbon
  • 2 Tablespoons Molasses

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

If turkey breast is natural, generously salt and pepper. If it’s self-basting or has a salt solution (check the label), skip the salt and just pepper it.

Mix concentrate, bourbon and molasses and spread all over turkey. Separate skin carefully from the top of the breast and spread under skin if you can.

Place turkey on a V rack in a roasting pan. Insert remote thermometer if using. Roast turkey for 30 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325ºF. Continue to cook until turkey registers 160ºF on a thermometer, about 1 hour.

Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes or so before carving.
