I'm really trying to upload all the pictures I took of the amazing dinner Gia-Ninh and I had at CityZen on Friday, but we're having issues with them so I will post some other favorite recipes with stolen photos instead. Hopefully the CityZen pics will be up by tomorrow. In the meantime - homestyle roasted turkey breast - it doesn't have to be just for holidays, you can do this anytime you'll be at home all day to keep an eye on it. And you'll find some built-in shortcuts in here.
- 1 whole turkey breast, bone-in (5-6 lbs)
- 1 lemon
- 1 can turkey gravy
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
- 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 325. Rinse turkey with cold water, pat dry. Trim excess fat.
Place breast-side-up, in a roaster pan with rack.
Juice lemon, pour juice into small batter bowl. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. Pour gravy mixture over turkey, coating well.
Bake 30min, baste turkey with pan juices. Continue baking 2 hours 30min to 3 hours, basting every 30 minutes until meat registers 170 degrees in the thickest part of the turkey & juices run clear.
For gravy, strain pan juices, skim off fat, if necessary.
Carve turkey into slices only have it has rested for at least 15 minutes. Serve with gravy.
A 5-6 lb turkey should yield about 10 servings.
