Honey Mustard Turkey Breast Recipes

SUNNY'S BACON-WRAPPED HONEY DIJON TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• For the brine: Add the salt, sugar and 1 cup warm water to a medium bowl. Whisk until the granules dissolve. Add the turkey, then transfer everything to a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to overnight.
• For the coating: Add the mustard, mayonnaise, honey and thyme to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
• Remove the turkey from the brine, then pat dry and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slather half the coating over the top side of each breast. To wrap the turkey, lay 6 slices of bacon parallel to each other, overlapping slightly, on a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Place a turkey breast, coated-side down, in the middle of the strips, oriented perpendicularly to the bacon. Cover the bottom of the turkey with more coating. Use the parchment or plastic wrap to lift all of the bacon over and around the breast, overlapping the ends. Roll over and release from the parchment, then place on a baking sheet outfitted with a wire rack, bacon-seam-side down. Sprinkle generously with black pepper. Repeat with the remaining bacon and turkey breast.
• Roast the turkey until a meat thermometer reads about 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Remove and cover lightly with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then carve into 1-inch slices.

• Increase the oven temperature to 450°; remove the foil, brush the turkey with the marinade in the pan, pour in the broth, and return the turkey to the oven.
• Roast for about 20 more minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 170°, basting with the pan juices, halfway through the cooking time; the skin should be deep brown.
• Transfer the turkey to a carving board; let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Carve the turkey into 1/2-inch thick slices and spoon the juices over; serve immediately.

Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer slices to a warm serving dish. Add remaining tablespoon of butter to skillet and repeat with other slices. Transfer slices to serving dish and cover with foil. Keep warm.

Add juices that may have accumulated around the turkey slices. Mix well and pour over the slices. Serve very hot.

• Place turkey, skin side down, on grill over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill. Brush with dressing. Cover and grill over medium heat 30 minutes. Turn turkey; brush with dressing. Cover and grill 2 to 3 hours longer, brushing occasionally with dressing, until thermometer reads 170°F and juice of turkey is no longer pink when center is cut.
