Maple Glazed Turkey Breast Roast

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maple Glazed Turkey Breast Roast.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, carefully unwrap your turkey roast, removing any plastic wrap and netting, but be sure to keep the string netting intact for now.

3. Step 3

   Give the turkey a gentle rinse under cold water, then pat it dry with some paper towels to ensure a nice, crisp skin.

4. Step 4

   In a mixing bowl, blend together the maple syrup, liquid smoke (if you’re using it for that extra smoky flavor), paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

5. Step 5

   Stir this delightful mixture until it’s well combined, creating a sweet and savory glaze.

6. Step 6

   Now, take a brush and generously coat the turkey roast with your maple syrup mixture, making sure every inch is covered in that delicious glaze.

7. Step 7

   Place the turkey roast, skin side up, on a baking rack nestled inside a roasting pan.

8. Step 8

   Pop it into your preheated oven and let it roast, basting occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know it’s ready when the skin turns a beautiful golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 170°F (75°C), which should take about an hour and a half.

10. Step 10

    Once your turkey is perfectly cooked, take it out of the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

11. Step 11

    Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes; this helps the juices redistribute for a tender slice.

12. Step 12

    Finally, remove the string netting and slice into your beautifully roasted turkey, ready to serve and impress your guests with a dish that’s as delicious as it is inviting.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy every bite!.
