From the SBD Daily Dish:
Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast (Phase 1)
Makes 8-10 servings
Description
Skinless turkey breast is an excellent lean protein choice — during the holidays and year-round. Unlike traditional roasted-turkey recipes, we've added the rub to the both the meat and the skin. Since the meat is seasoned, it tastes fabulous without the skin, which is how you should eat it.
Tip: To ensure a thoroughly cooked bird, stick a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast. The turkey is done when the thermometer registers 160°F and the juices run clear. For a moist bird, let the roast rest before slicing; this allows the juices to distribute throughout the meat.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 medium shallot, chopped
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 bone-in turkey breast (6–7 pounds), rinsed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a food processor, combine all the herbs, shallot, and salt and pepper; pulse to combine and further chop herbs. Add oil and mustard; pulse until the mixture forms a loose paste.
Pat turkey dry with paper towels and place on lightly oiled V-rack in large roasting pan, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife, cut and discard any extra flaps of skin. Using your fingers (and a knife, if needed), loosen skin from meat of breast. Slip half of the herb paste over each side of breast, using your fingers to spread it around. Rub remaining herb paste on turkey skin.
Place pan in oven, wide neck facing oven rear. Roast for 15 minutes; then rotate pan and roast an additional 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325°F. Roast another 45–50 minutes, or until the meat thermometer registers 160°F. Rotate pan 15 minutes before cooking time is over. Remove from oven; transfer to cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before carving.
