This recipe is real easy and simple;
it was perfect for my lazy day. Next
time, I will marinade and inject turkey with butter mixture then let it sit overnight
and let it cook in the crock pot!!
Ingredients:
- 1
(5 -20 lb) fresh or frozen turkey
breast (thawed) or 1 (5 -20 lb) turkey
- 1/4
cup butter,
melted (I used Garlic & Herb butter, yum!!)
- 12
ounces chicken
broth or white wine
- 1
-2 tablespoon mayonnaise
Directions:
1.
Line the roasting baking pan with
foil. Place turkey or turkey breast on
the rack of a roasting pan.
2.
Combine melted butter and chicken
broth. Poor over turkey.
3.
Rub mayonnaise all over turkey's
exterior. Salt lightly if desired
4.
Roast at 300°-325°F until internal
temperature reaches 170°F on an instant read thermometer. (I raise the
temperature to 350° for the last approximate 30-45 minutes to crisp skin).
5.
Remove from oven and let sit for
about 30 minutes before slicing.
Note: because the butter and broth
are for making gravy, if you need to make a lot of gravy, double the amount of
both.
To make gravy: pour pan drippings into
a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch
per cup of broth/drippings to 1/4 cup cold water. (You'll usually need 2-3
tablespoons) Mix well to dissolve. Stir cornstarch mixture into broth and stir
until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. If too thin, dissolve more
cornstarch in water and add until desired thickness. If too thick, add water or
more broth to thin.
