Roast Turkey Breast With Mascarpone Prosciutto And Italian Herb Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the turkey breast from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Cut 3 pieces of kitchen twine and set aside.
• Add the butter, parsley, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a small bowl. Use a fork or a rubber spatula to incorporate all of the ingredients into the butter. Set aside.
• Pat the turkey breast dry. Using clean hands, starting at one end of the breast, slide your fingers under the skin to create a pocket between the meat and the skin. Use your hands to transfer the butter into the pocket and smooth the butter into an even layer.
• Use the kitchen twine to tie the turkey horizontally in 3 places. This will help the turkey breast cook evenly and remain juicy. Flip the turkey breast so that it is skin-side down. Drizzle it with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Flip the turkey over and repeat the same seasoning process.
• Arrange the onion slices on a small rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/3 cup water into the baking sheet and place the turkey breast on top of the onions. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the oven and baste it with the butter and juices from the baking sheet. Continue to roast until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F, another 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the turkey to cool for 15 minutes. (In this time the internal temperature will rise another 5 degrees.)
• Slice the turkey and serve it with the roasted onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a paste. Loosen the skin from the meat gently with your fingers and smear half of the paste directly on the meat. Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin. Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.
• Roast the turkey for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, 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. (I test in several places.) If the skin is over-browning, cover the breast loosely with aluminum foil. When the turkey is done, cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over the turkey.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together oil, salt, and white pepper; brush over turkey.
• Roast turkey on a rimmed baking sheet until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 140 degrees and climbing, about 30 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes. Slice turkey as needed. (Reserve pan drippings if making Turkey-Corn Salad.)

Steps:

• Place vegetables and broth in a 6- or 7-qt. slow cooker; top with turkey breast. Brush turkey with oil; sprinkle with seasonings. , Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer inserted in turkey reads at least 170°, 5-6 hours. Remove turkey from slow cooker; let stand, covered, 15 minutes before carving. Serve with vegetables. If desired, strain cooking juices and thicken for gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots, garlic, and 1 tablespoon oil; push to sides. Place turkey in center; rub with 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of turkey registers 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes, tossing carrots halfway through. Let turkey rest 10 minutes; thinly slice crosswise.
• In a small bowl, mix yogurt, lime juice, and teaspoon cumin; season with salt and pepper. Serve turkey and carrots with sauce.

Steps:

• Pat turkey dry. Run hands under skin of turkey, separating skin from breast and thighs. Rub 3 tablespoons rosemary and 3 tablespoons garlic under skin over breast and thighs. Carefully arrange half of prosciutto under skin over breast and thighs. Rub 1 tablespoon rosemary and 1 tablespoon garlic inside cavity of turkey. Sprinkle remaining prosciutto into cavity. Place turkey in heavy large roasting pan. Cover with plastic and chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Rub outside of turkey with oil. Season with pepper. Place 1 head of garlic in cavity of turkey. Place 2 heads of garlic in roasting pan. Tie turkey legs together. Roast turkey 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Continue roasting turkey until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F, basting occasionally with 2 cups broth, about 3 hours. Transfer turkey to platter. Surround with roasted garlic and garlic from turkey cavity. Remove prosciutto from turkey cavity; reserve. Tent turkey with foil.
• Pour pan juices into large glass measuring cup. Skim fat from surface of pan juices, reserving 3 tablespoons fat. Set roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add wine mixture to pan juices in cup (liquids should measure 2 1/2 cups; if not, add more both or boil until reduced to 2 1/2 cups).
• Heat reserved 3 tablespoons fat in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; stir until golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in pan juices. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon rosemary. Boil until thickened to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Mix in reserved prosciutto. Garnish turkey with rosemary springs. Serve with gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Combine cheese, prosciutto, and 1 tsp of the Italian Seasoning in a small bowl until blended.
• Rinse turkey breast and pat dry. Using your fingers, gently separate skin from meat on each side of breast, being careful not to tear skin. Using a spoon or spatula, spread cheese mixture evenly under the skin on both sides. Secure skin with toothpicks on lower end.
• Place breast on flat roasting rack in a shallow pan. Squeeze lemon juice over breast and place lemon havlves under rib cage. Brush skin with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining italian seasoning.
• Bake 2-1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 170 degrees F. Let stand for 15 minutes.
