Ingredients
- 1
boneless, skin-on turkey breast (about 2 1/2 lbs.)
- 2 tsp.
kosher salt
- 3 Tbsp.
unsalted butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp.
honey mustard
- 1 Tbsp.
finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbsp.
finely chopped fresh sage
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup
(about 4 oz.) Fisher Chopped Pecans
Directions
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 375° with a rack in the center position. Season the turkey breast with 1 teaspoon salt; set aside.
- Step 2In a small bowl, combine the butter, honey mustard, rosemary, sage, orange zest, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Rub the butter mixture over the turkey breast. Using kitchen twine, tie the breast crosswise in three or four places to form a more even shape. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and coat with the chopped pecans.
- Step 3Roast the turkey until the skin is golden and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 160°, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, tenting with foil if the nuts begin to darken too quickly. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and tent with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes; during this time the internal temperature will climb to 165°. Remove the kitchen twine and serve warm.
