I received this recipe from my co-worker and we really enjoyed it this Thanksgiving. Her copy looks like it may have come from Quick Cuisine - Winter 2001. Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless turkey breast |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Trim turkey breast of any fat.
2. In a small bowl combine olive oil with garlic, thyme, mustard, lemon peel, salt and pepper. Rub into turkey breast.
3. Marinate in the refrigerator from 1 hour to 12 hours.
4. Arrange turkey breast, skin side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or tinfoil.
5. Roast at 350F for 50 to 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the breast reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
6. Remove turkey from oven to a carving board and tent with tinfoil. Place juices in a medium skillet (could drain off some of the fat) add lemon juice (perhaps use less if some of the fat drained off) and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
7. Carve turkey into thin slices across the breast. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with fresh thyme.
