Apple Cider Glazed Turkey Breast

Sage and butter rubbed turkey breast with spiced apple cider glaze. Perfect for small gatherings during the holiday season.

Ingredients
turkey breast

• 4 - 5 lb turkey breast
• 1/2 cup sage leaves, minced
• 1 stick butter
• 4 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 6 cloves garlic

apple cider glazed turkey breast

glaze

• 2 cups spiced apple cider
• 1 tablespoon honey

gravy

• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup spiced apple cider or chicken stock

Instructions

1. Place the turkey breast, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
2. In a food processor, combine the butter, sage, salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Process to make a paste. Gently separate the skin from the meat with your fingers being careful not to tear the skin. Spread half of the paste under the skin and directly on the meat. Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin. Cover and let refrigerate overnight to marinade.
3. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
4. In a sauce pan combine 1 1/2 cups spiced apple cider with honey. Bring to a boil and let reduce to 1/2 cup. When it cools it will become a syrup.
5. Pour 1/2 cup spiced apple cider into the bottom of the roasting pan. Brush the turkey breast with spiced apple cider glaze. Roast the turkey for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning half-way and basting again with glaze, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast. If the skin is over-browning, tent with aluminum foil. When the turkey is done, transfer to a platter and cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 - 20 minutes.
