I always use just the basics: salt, pepper, garlic salt and some tony sacheres. (or season salt)
You can put the turkey in a foil packet and bake it that way to retain moisture, adding 1/4-1/2 cup chicken broth to the bottom of the foil packet.
Although this method will take a longer amount of time, it is well worth the wait.
Happy eating and gobble gobble!!

Have you roasted a Turkey Breast SIde Down?

We Answered:

That's how I did my Thanksgiving turkey. It was great! Time and temp were the same. Well, temp was the same, but the time was a little shorter. I think that had more to do with my new oven than with roasting it breast side down. My turkey was 18 lbs and I cooked it unstuffed and uncovered. If you're feeling especially brave, you can turn it over when there's an hour left in the bake time to let the breast brown. But that's really a two person job, especially at that size :)

I have a turkey breast, do I have to remove giblets?

We Answered:

Generally, turkey breasts only do not come with giblets. If they do, they are enclosed in a little bag, and you can do with them as you wish. (They make good gravy).

How is a "turkey breast tenderloin" different from regular turkey breast?

We Answered:

If you look at a turkey breast, you'll see the bone go down the center, and 2 nice meaty pieces on either side of that bone. Those 2 big pieces are "tenderloins" ... as opposed to the whole breast with the bones, and meat around everything.... You can buy a whole breast, and cut the 2 tenderloins out, but I know that Kroger's carries them, as do other groceries. I think it might be "The Turkey Store" brand, but not positive...

Does a boneless turkey breast need to thaw completely before placing in slow cooker?

We Answered:

Nah... It just might take a bit longer.
