Turkey Breast with Apricot Glaze Recipe

Turkey Breast with Apricot Glaze RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Turkey Breast with Apricot Glaze Recipe Rating 5

For a special occasion dinner, I stuff the turkey breast with onion, cloves and and orange before baking it. The results is a wonderful aroma as the turkey is roasting...and great flavor! Removing the skin from the bird from the bird before serving helps trim the fat...and the sweet glaze drizzled over individual slices makes a fantastic alternative to gravy.—Nancy Zimmerman, Cape May Court House, New Jersey
