Description

Ingredients

• 1 (7-8 lb.) whole turkey breast, fresh or frozen and thawed
• ½ apple, chopped into two pieces
• ½ lemon
• ½ onion
• 1 stalk celery, halved
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• Salt, to taste
• ½ cup (1 stick) butter
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 cup water

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse the turkey breast with cold water. Pat dry.
• Stuff turkey cavity with apple, lemon, onion, celery, rosemary, and thyme. Sprinkle salt inside the cavity.
• Place the turkey in a large shallow roasting pan lined with aluminum foil. Don’t skip the aluminum foil (it makes clean up quick and easy)!
• TO PREPARE THE GLAZE: In a small saucepan, melt butter with maple syrup over low heat. Pour maple butter glaze over turkey to coat.
• Add 1 cup water to bottom of pan.
• Roast the turkey breast for 2 – 2 ½ hours, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 175-180 degrees F. Baste with pan juices every 30 minutes.
• If any part of the turkey browns too quickly while cooking, just tent lightly with aluminum foil.
• Remove the turkey from the oven and place on a large cutting board. Tent the turkey with foil and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes before carving.
