One boneless turkey breast from our pasture raised turkeys. You’ll find these breasts are perfect for roasting. Each breast is tied with butcher twine netting for convenient roasting.
Here’s a recipe we developed for our turkey breasts:
Kimchi Brined Turkey Breast with Kimchi and Herb Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey breast 3 to 4 lbs, netting removed and un-rolled
For the Brine
- 1 cup kimchi juice drained from a jar of kimchi
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground coriander seed
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary
For Roasting the Turkey Breast
- ½ cup butter, melted
For the Kimchi and Herb Sauce
- 1 cup plain sheep’s milk or cow’s milk yogurt
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup drained kimchi, minced into small pieces
- ¼ cup cilantro, minced
- ¼ cup fresh basil, minced
- salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all brine ingredients and stir well to combine. Liberally coat the turkey breast in the brine and then transfer all to a 1 gallon sealable freezer bag. Refrigerate the turkey overnight or at least 8 hours. Turn the bag over a few times to evenly distribute the brine.
Before Cooking the Breast:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove most of the brine and pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
- Brush the turkey with enough melted butter to lightly coat all sides. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cook for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue cooking until breast has reached internal temperature of 160 degrees.
- Baste occasionally with the remaining melted butter.
- Once turkey breast is fully cooked, let rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
While Turkey Breast is Roasting
- Prepare the kimchi and herb sauce. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
