Turkey Breast
Maple Glaze
Method
Preparation
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Turkey Breast
Remove any packaging from the turkey breast (typically 2 to 3 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast) and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp roast.
Make Maple Glaze
Combine Glaze Ingredients
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Simmer Glaze
Bring the glaze mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Roast Turkey
Place Turkey in Pan
Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a rack.
Brush with Glaze
Brush a generous amount of the maple glaze over the entire surface of the turkey breast.
Roast Turkey
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), brushing with additional glaze every 15–20 minutes.
Finishing Touches
Rest Turkey
Remove the turkey breast from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 10–15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice and Serve
Slice the turkey breast thinly against the grain and serve warm with extra glaze drizzled on top if desired.
