  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 2 hours

Ingredients

– 1 (4-5 lb) turkey breast, bone-in and skin-on
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
– 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)


Instructions

Creating Roast Turkey Breast with Pear Chutney is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the skin, then season generously with salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
3. Place Turkey in Roasting Pan: Position the turkey breast in a roasting pan, skin-side up, and place it in the preheated oven.
4. Roast Turkey: Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with its juices every 30 minutes for added moisture.
5. Prepare Pear Chutney: While the turkey is roasting, combine chopped pears, onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
6. Simmer Chutney: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and the chutney thickens. Add cranberries in the last 5 minutes, if using.
7. Rest the Turkey: Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
8. Serve: Slice the turkey breast and serve it with a generous ladle of pear chutney on top or on the side.

These steps will guide you in preparing an amazing Roast Turkey Breast with Pear Chutney that will surely delight everyone at your table.
