Ingredients

2 cups apple cider, plus 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup salt, plus more for turkey
3 to 5 sprigs thyme
3 sprigs rosemary plus 1 teaspoon chopped
1 (3 3/4-pound) boneless turkey breast with skin
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for turkey
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen peeled and sliced peaches, chopped
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups apple cider, salt, thyme and rosemary. Add turkey breast and enough water to cover the bird. Cover and let brine in the refrigerator 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

For the glaze:

In a small saucepan, saute onions in oil until softened. Add peaches, honey, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons apple cider. Bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until peaches break down and glaze thickens, about 12 minutes.

Remove turkey from brine and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with oil and season with pepper. Place turkey in a roasting pan. Cook 15 minutes until skin begins to turn golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and brush the top generously with the glaze. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let the turkey rest at least 10 minutes. Its temperature will continue to rise.

Absolutely the best!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe last Thanksgiving and it turned out amazing. It was moist and tasty and got rave reviews from everyone and... now multiple requests for it this year. To go along with it I made a Stuffing which had turkey sausage, diced pears, celery & onions in it. After the turkey breast got golden (after 15 minutes), I then piled the stuffing I prepared in the middle of the roasting pan (like a half of a football) and then placed the turkey breast on top, (some stuffing peeking out from under the turkey breast) then the glaze and then put it back in the oven until ready. Not only was everything so moist and delicious, the glaze that dripped on to the stuffing gave it that perfect crunch to the edges that everyone in the house was battling for. This one is a keeper! Thanks Sunny! Read more

Redemption Trophy Dish!! DELISH!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Okay, so I am the baby of my family. I have two sisters and one brother and they all swear of being good cooks. My sisters... are "old school" kitchen heiresses and my brother proclaims to be a grill "smoke master". This leaves me the up and coming "Sous Chef" constantly trying to prove myself to my family that I could really make a pleasing dish. Let me tell you that I have REDEEMED myself with this Moist Glazed Roasted Turkey Breast recipe. I followed the recipe to the nail and the dish was a success and delicious. I laugh to myself because I think it was a combination between my family's heirloom roaster and this guardian recipe jewel that saved my cooking reputation. My siblings are on their feet after I presented this spectacular dish to make sure that I don't "Dethrone" them in the kitchen.. At the end of the family supper, the only thing that was left from my dish was the BONE! (In my family leftovers can mean that you cooked too much or that your food was okay to take for lunch the next day. But to have a dish that is gone at the end of the meal, means that your dish was STELLAR)! YES. I DID IT! :) Thanks SUNNY!! Keep doing what you are doing for ALL THE SINGLE LADIES in THEIR 30's! :) Read more
