Preparation

Step 1

Combine bacon and pepper and work between the skin and the breast meat with your fingers.

Combine garlic with remaining ingredients and bring to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened. Allow to cool.

Baste turkey breasts with cooled glaze and place in a shallow baking pan or dish in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breasts.

When glaze is golden brown, breasts are close to done (internal temperature of 145 degrees). Baste again before serving. Slice meat across the grain and drizzle any leftover sauce over meat.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
