  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 lb. bone-in turkey breast

For the Rub:

  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper

For the Maple Glaze:

  • 4 tbs. duck sauce
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbs. cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. chili garlic sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven 325 degrees F.
  2. Mix the ingredients for the glaze and divide between two bowls.  Place one bowl aside to server alongside the meal.
  3. Clean and pat dry the turkey breast.
  4. Mix the rub for the turkey in a small bowl, and rub it all over the prepared turkey breast.
  5. Place the turkey breast in a large cast iron frying pan lined with parchment paper and place in the oven to cook for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes, brush with turkey breast with the prepared glaze.
  6. Repeat this process of brushing with the glaze every 30 minutes while cooking. Discard any remaining glaze that you have used to brush the turkey during cooking.
  7. The cooking time should be about 15-18 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. at the thickest part of the meat using an instant-read thermometer.
  8. The skin should turn a beautiful golden color when the turkey breast is done.
  9. Once done, remove from the oven and let the turkey breast rest for about 15-20 minutes before carving.  Remember to use a sharp knife for carving to get beautiful slices with the skin still attached.
  10. Server alongside the reserved glaze and your favorite sides. Enjoy!
