Recipe Redux: Easy Turkey Breast
What Did I Make?: Easy Turkey Breast, from Cook's Illustrated
What Did I Do Differently: I cannot get the butter softened. I just melt the butter entirely. It seems to be okay. Also, I have no idea where my v-rack is, so I used two foil spirals instead.
Would I Make This Again?: Absolutely! I brined the turkey breast this morning, and I had a lovely, juicy turkey, with no worry about any redness whatsoever. (Which often happens when I try to roast a whole turkey.) The skin was a bit soft, so maybe only a cup and a half of water in the pan next time. This recipe is super simple; it just takes time.
This is the sort of recipe that makes me want to get an Instant Pot -- not for cooking this, but for taking the carcass afterward and turning it into stock. Because this recipe makes such a beautiful bird, it's a shame not to make stock with it afterward. Plus, with a small family, a full-sized turkey breast has at least two or three other meals in it.
