This year has been exceptionally strange and difficult, which lead to some adjustments to our traditional holiday plans. Although my love for Thanksgiving stems from the large gatherings we usually host, it truly comes from memories made with loved ones around the table. So this year, I created a Thanksgiving menu focused on our family of four, starting with this roast turkey breast recipe – and a Shady Brook Farms® Frozen Young Bone-In Breast Turkey was the perfect way to downsize from our traditional whole roast turkey.

Instructions
NotesThe skin of the turkey caramelizes with the glaze as the turkey roasts. The color of the skin will darken, but it is not burning. Continuously glazing the turkey throughout the roasts deepens it’s color, and flavor. Keywords: roast turkey breast, thanksgiving turkey Brine For Turkey RecipeI use a simple dry brine recipe that has always given me the juiciest turkey with minimal effort. Simply mix 1/2 cup kosher salt with about two tablespoons of brown sugar together and coat the entire turkey breast with it. Put the turkey in a roasting pan with the brine and chill for 12 hours, and up to two days before roasting. I’ve used this roast turkey breast recipe for the last few years and it has never failed me. Between the dry brine that keeps the bird juicy and the butter that makes the skin crispy – it is Thanksgiving perfection with little stress. The glaze is seasoned with all of my fall flavors and my family would not claim a Thanksgiving day without me making this recipe! How to Cook Frozen Turkey Breast in OvenI do keep an eye on the turkey while it’s in the oven, but I am usually preparing sides while it roasts. Every 30 minutes I will coat the turkey breast in the glaze. You should have enough glaze to take you through the entire roast. If you forget to add glaze at a 30 minute increment, don’t stress! This recipe really is fool proof, which is why it is my go-to for an important occasion like Thanksgiving. I roast the turkey for 30 minutes at it’s highest heat of 450 degrees, just until the skin is golden brown. Then I reduce the heat to 300 degrees and roast for an additional 75-85 minutes, depending on how large the bird is. The internal temp of the thickest part of the turkey breast near the neck should be 150 degrees before it’s safe to eat. Something to remember: the skin will darken because of the initial 30 minute roast at the high temp for a quick crisp. Also, the color of the glaze itself is darker making the skin darken as well as it caramelizes and roasts. You’re not burning the bird, you’re only deepening the flavors! I hope you find this recipe as easy and tasty as my family does. From our family to yours, I hope you have a wonderful, intimate Thanksgiving holiday.
