My sister Sandra shared this recipe with me, so around my house we call it Sandi's Citrus Turkey . Ingredients:
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 turkey breast tenderloin (about 1/2 pound) |
1/3 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon chicken broth, divided |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
salt to taste, optional |
pepper to taste |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Rub garlic over all sides of tenderloin. Place in a greased shallow 5-cup baking dish. Pour the orange juice, 1/4 cup broth and lemon juice over turkey. Sprinkle with the thyme, salt if desired and pepper.
2. Cover and bake at 325° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-20 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting occasionally. Remove turkey to a serving platter and keep warm.
3. For sauce, pour drippings and loosened browned bits into a measuring cup. Skim fat; pour drippings into a small saucepan. Combine cornstarch and remaining broth until smooth. Stir into drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with turkey. Yield: 2 servings.
