- 1 bone-in turkey breast about 6 pounds
- 2 cups apple cider
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan, reduce the apple cider over medium heat to about 1/2 cup.
Stir in honey, mustard, and thyme to the reduced cider to make the glaze.
Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper.
Place the turkey breast on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
Brush the turkey liberally with the cider glaze.
Roast the turkey for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with additional glaze, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the turkey rest before slicing, offering a succulent, flavorful centerpiece that is simpler than a whole turkey but just as festive.
