This delicious and flavorful Turkey Breast dish combines the tenderness of turkey breast with a mouthwatering glaze. Indulge in the harmonious blend of honey and sour cream.
The combination of sour cream and honey is just spectacular. The acid which comes from sour cream enhances the turkey flavor and tenderizes the breast. So, as a result, you will get delicious and soft turkey breast meat.
This recipe requires 1 hour and 2o minutes.
To make this delicious honey baked turkey breast, you need to preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature of 425°F (220°C).
After you can start preparing the turkey breast by seasoning it with salt, pepper, sour cream, and honey.
Yes, absolutely, sour cream contains acid which helps to tenderize the breast. You can soak turkey breast in sour cream for 2-4 hours.
It is important to evenly coat turkey breast on all sides. After, place the turkey in a covered container or cover with a cling film and refrigerate it for several hours.
Tip: generally coat sour cream and honey as they will give so much flavor to the meat.
Sour cream and honey pair well with a variety of herbs and spices. The common spices are black pepper, paprika, parsley, garlic, and chives.
These are just a few examples, that I have tried and really enjoy. But you can experiment with it to find your preferred flavor combinations. Feel free to adjust the quantities of herbs and spices based on your personal taste preferences.
You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
Once the turkey breast is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey breast.
While you bake the turkey breast for 1 hour, you have enough time to make a side dish that goes well with the meat.
Meanwhile, you can make a side dish such as Simple Boiled Red Potatoes. Or, you can serve this delicious Honey Baked Turkey Breast with Vegetable Ragout.
After one hour, you need to uncover the foil and start basting from time to time with a sauce that comes out from the baking. It will add an extra layer of flavor and goodness to the breast. The meat will be tender and juicy.
You can serve this turkey up to 6 people.
Once the turkey breast is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. The breast will rest and the juices will redistribute evenly.
