Oven Roasted Turkey Breast (6 Servings)

Ingredients

Scale

Honey Orange Sauce (Optional Serving Suggestion)

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • ¼ cup of honey (or maple syrup)
  • ¼ cup of orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon of orange zest
  • ⅔ cup of water
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Drizzle vegetable or olive oil over the foil-lined bottom of a roasting pan. Set the pan aside after doing this.
  2. Mix the orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, honey, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Begin by rubbing the turkey breast with the mixture. Then, in the roasting pan, place the turkey and pour the remainder of the sauce mixture on top. Transfer to the oven, foil-wrapped.
  4. In the preheated oven, roast the turkey breasts for 15 minutes. This cooking time is considerably shorter than for raw turkey recipes because the turkey is already cooked, you just need to heat it up. For the final few minutes of cooking, remove the foil to allow the turkey breasts to brown properly. When each turkey breast is done cooking, it should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. After the turkey breast is cooked, slice it up, then serve it with your favorite sides, with Honey Orange Sauce drizzled on top.

To make the Honey Orange sauce

  1. In a small cup, whisk together the water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Remove from the equation.
  2. Preheat a medium skillet to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in the olive oil and leave it to sizzle.
  3. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and pepper flakes once the oil has started to sizzle. To avoid scorching the mixture, whisk it together right away.
  4. Toss in the other ingredients, including the cornstarch mixture, into the pan. To blend, stir everything together.
  5. Continue to swirl and simmer until the mixture thickens and begins to lightly boil. Take the pan off the heat and serve the sauce with the turkey.

This recipe delivers deliciously cooked turkey breasts on your plate, and the drizzled sauce makes it more mouthwatering.
