Ingredients for Apricot Turkey Breast

  • Skinless Boneless Turkey Breasts
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves
  • Dry Onion Soup Mix
  • Challah

How to Make Apricot Turkey Breast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Place the turkey breast in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spread 1/2 cup apricot preserves evenly over the turkey breast.
  4. In a shallow dish, soak 4 slices of bread (about 1/2 inch thick) in 1/2 cup onion soup mix dissolved in 1/2 cup water until softened.
  5. Arrange the soaked bread slices over the apricot-glazed turkey breast, completely covering it.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  7. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Mash the remaining bread and serve it alongside the sliced, roasted turkey.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
