Preparation

Step 1

1. If frozen, thaw turkey breast according to package directions.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a small roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine maple syrup and marinade. Reserve half of maple syrup mixture for sauce. Using a meat injector, inject remaining maple syrup mixture into several places in breast.
3. In a small bowl, combine butter, salt, garlic powder, and pepper; rub over entire breast. Place, breast side up, on a wire rack in prepared pan.
4. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 165 degrees. Remove turkey to a serving platter, and cover loosely with foil; let stand for 20 minutes before carving.
5. In a saucepan, combine reserved maple syrup mixture and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until thickened. Serve with turkey.
