Ingredients
Scale
Turkey:
- 1 (3 to 4 lb) boneless turkey breast, skin-on
Maple Glaze:
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Glaze the Turkey: Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up. Brush half of the maple glaze over the turkey.
- Roast the Turkey: Roast uncovered for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Brush with more glaze halfway through cooking. Tent with foil if skin browns too quickly.
