Sweet and Tangy Turkey Breast
Adapted from The Rodale Whole Foods Cookbook
Serves 6
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown mustard
1 bone-in turkey breast (5 1/2 pounds)
Prep Day: In a measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and mustard. Cut the turkey breast in half. Remove the breast meat, with skin on, in one piece, from each half. (Also remove the small chunks of turkey on the underside.) Place the breast halves and chunks of turkey in a freezer bag and pour the marinade over them. Freeze.
Serve Day: Thaw. Preheat the broiler. Pour the marinade off the turkey into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.
Place the turkey skin-side down on a broiler pan and broil 6 inches from the heat for 10 minutes. Turn over and cook for 5 more minutes. Lower the pan a notch and broil for 5 minutes longer, or until the turkey is cooked through. If not done, turn over and cook for 5 more minutes. (It does not matter if the skin burns.)
Rewarm the marinade. Remove any burned skin from the turkey. Slice the turkey across the grain into thin slices. Serve with the marinade for spooning over it.
