One-Pan Roast Turkey Breast
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 6 tbsp. butter, at room temp.
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed with press
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 2 lb. turkey-breast halves, deboned
- 1 lb. medium shallots, halved lengthwise (left in their skins)
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. small purple potatoes (about 8), scrubbed and halved lengthwise
- 12 oz. small parsnips (about 4), trimmed, scrubbed, and halved lengthwise
- 1 lb. small thin carrots (about 12), trimmed and scrubbed
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. With a vegetable peeler, remove 6 strips of lemon zest, avoiding the white pith; thinly slice crosswise. In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, mustard, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; set aside.
- Remove skin from turkey-breast halves and set aside. Rub the butter mixture all over the turkey breasts. Place one breast half on top of the other, arranging so 1 thick side and 1 thin side are sandwiched together. Wrap breasts in the skin and tie them with butcher's twine to form a log shape.
- On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss shallots with oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange them in the center of the sheet and place the turkey on top. Roast for 60 minutes.
- Remove from oven and transfer turkey to cutting board. Add potatoes, carrots, and parsnips to a baking sheet and toss with shallots and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; arrange in an even layer. Place turkey on top of vegetables and roast until turkey registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer and vegetables are golden brown and tender, 35 to 45 minutes more (remove vegetables that are done before turkey).
- Transfer turkey to a clean cutting board and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices and vegetables.
Enjoy!
