Ingredients

• 2 pounds Turkey breast
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and olive oil.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger, then add them to the honey mixture. Stir in the lemon zest and rosemary, blending until well combined.

Step 4

Place the turkey breast in a baking dish and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 5

Pour the honey glaze over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated. Use a brush or spoon to cover all sides.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish to prevent the turkey from drying out.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and caramelized.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Meanwhile, transfer the juices from the baking dish into a small saucepan.

Step 11

Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the saucepan with the juices.

Step 12

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened to a glaze consistency.

Step 13

Serve the sliced turkey with the thickened glaze drizzled on top.
