Maple-Butter Glazed Roasted Turkey Breast
A delicious, tender roasted turkey breast with a sticky maple glaze.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) frozen boneless turkey roast (like Butterball)
- 1 tbsp oil
- Salt and pepper
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp grainy mustard
Instructions
- Cook the turkey roast from frozen, per package instructions. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place frozen turkey breast (netting still on) on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil. Cook uncovered for 3 1/2 hours.
- Combine maple syrup, butter and mustard in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until butter is melted and mixture thickens slightly.
- Brush the maple glaze over roast and continue cooking for 30 minutes more or golden brown and meat thermometer reads 165°F. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before removing the netting and slicing.
- Add ¼ cup of water to remaining glaze and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until syrupy again and serve drizzled over turkey.
Notes
*Note: you can use this glaze with a fresh, bone-in turkey breast roast, too, but the cooking time and method will be different. As your butcher (or google) for time and temperature pointers for your size roast, and glaze during final 30 minutes as directed above.
