Calories 199kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Turkey Breast Roast (3 lb approx)
- leaves Cilantro to garnish (optional)
Chipotle Marinade:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 Chili Chipotle Adobo + 1 tablespoon of the sauce
- 1 tablespoon granulated chicken bouillon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Place all marinade ingredients in a mini food processor or blender. Cover and process until smooth. Pour marinade into a large Ziploc bag. Add the turkey breast, close the bag and shake to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour up to overnight.
- Remove the turkey from marinade 1 hour before roasting. Strain the marinade and transfer to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until sauce becomes thick, about 8 -10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Remove from heat and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil to easy cleaning.
- Bake the turkey to an internal temperature of 165º F, brushing the turkey with the sauce during the cooking process, for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Once it’s done, cover with aluminum foil and let it stand for about 10 -15 minutes before cutting.
- Serve with the remaining chipotle sauce.
Notes
STORE: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
CAN I USE A WHOLE TURKEY BREAST INSTEAD?
Yes, you can! If you decide to use a whole turkey breast, plan ahead because it needs to be completely thawed. Follow the same steps: marinade the night before and remove from the marinade 1 hour before roasting.
- Bone-In Turkey Breast: cook at 400°F or until the thickest part of the meat registers 160° F, about 15-20 minutes per pound. Cover the top with a piece of foil if the top starts to brown too much. Once it’s done, cover it with aluminum foil and let it stand for about 10 -15 minutes before cutting.
- Boneless Turkey Breast: cook at 400°F or until the thickest part of the meat registers 160° F, about 12-15 minutes per pound. Cover the top with a piece of foil if the top starts to brown too much. Once it’s done, cover it with aluminum foil and let it stand for about 10 -15 minutes before cutting.
