Appliances and Special Utensils
Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey breast (3-4 lbs)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Marinate Turkey: Place the boneless turkey breast in the Dutch oven. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover the Dutch oven and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook Turkey: Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven, covered. Cook for 1 hour.
- Glaze Turkey: After 1 hour, remove the lid. Use a basting brush to glaze the turkey with the pan juices. Continue cooking, uncovered, for an additional 30-45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest Turkey: Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes on a cutting board. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Carve and Serve: Carve the turkey breast into slices with a carving knife and serve. Enjoy your delicious, homemade Boneless Honey Maple Turkey Breast!
