Apple-Glazed Turkey
Lemon juice, garlic, and sage boost the flavor of the turkey breast, while apple jelly provides a subtly sweet finish. Make this for dinner any time of the year.
Ingredients
-
1 turkey breast tenderloin (about 8 ounces)
-
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
-
1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil or cooking oil
-
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
-
1/4 teaspoon dried sage leaves, crushed
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon apple jelly, melted
-
4 very thin slices lemon
-
Fresh sage leaves (optional)
Directions
1.
Preheat broiler. Split turkey tenderloin in half horizontally to make two portions, each about 1/2 inch thick. Place turkey on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, seasoned salt, dried sage, and garlic. Brush mixture on both sides of each turkey portion.
2.
Broil turkey 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn turkey; place lemon slices on turkey. Broil for 2 minutes more. Using a clean brush, brush with apple jelly. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes more or until tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F). Slice the turkey. If desired, garnish with fresh sage leaves.
