Maple Orange-Glazed Turkey Roast

 

Last week,  I bought a whole turkey because both Ronnie and I were 'hungry' for it.  I've been 'searching' for really good recipes, and found this one which looked to me.  Maggie

 

 

Maple Orange-Glazed Turkey Roast

This turkey roast blends light and dark meat — but it's compact and carves easily into neat slices. Grill the meat to free up oven space for the turkey trimmings

SERVES 10 -12

Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper 
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch 
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup 
  • 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
  • 1 (2.5-3 1/2 lb)  boneless turkey breast
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a small bowl combine garlic, marjoram, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  2. For glaze, in a small saucepan stir together the orange juice and cornstarch; add half of the seasoning mixture.
  3. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
  4. Cook and stir 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in maple syrup and orange peel; set aside.
  6. Brush the turkey roast with melted butter and rub with remaining seasoning mixture.
  7. Insert a meat thermometer near the center of the roast.
  8. For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan.
  9. Test for medium heat above the pan.
  10. Place the turkey roast directly on the grill rack over the pan.
  11. Cover; grill until thermometer registers 165°F Add coals to maintain heat every 30 minutes.
  12. Brush with glaze the last 30 minutes of grilling.
  13. Remove meat from grill.
  14. Cover with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The meat's temperature will rise 5F during standing).
  15. Bring any remaining glaze to boiling; pass with turkey. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.).
  16. OR, use the oven @325 degrees until thermometer reaches 165F (should be about 1 1/2 hrs). Follow glazing and standing directions above.
