I found this recipe in a diabetics’ cookbook. We really like the honey flavor. The sweetness comes through when I use the leftovers in casseroles and soups, too.
SERVINGS: 12-14
CATEGORY: Main Dish
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 2 hours + standing
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard
- 1 bone-in turkey breast (6 to 7 pounds)
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine the apple juice concentrate, honey and mustard. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes or just until blended, stirring occasionally.
Remove skin from turkey if desired; place on a rack in a foil-lined shallow roasting pan. Pour honey mixture over turkey.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Yield: 12-14 servings.
