Bourbon-Braised Turkey Breast |
|
Serves: 6
Braising is usually reserved for tough cuts. It is the perfect technique for getting meat fibers to relax and infusing a roast with nuanced flavor. It is also helpful for speeding up the cooking of more tender meats. The trick is to use a minimum of liquid, cover the pan tightly, and keep the heat low. There is less shrinkage than in traditional roasting, and the flavor is spectacular.
1 boneless turkey breast tenderloin, about 4 pounds
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, halved and sliced
1 cup bourbon whiskey
1 (10-ounce) can condensed chicken broth

Season the turkey with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the turkey breast in the pan, skin-side down; cook until well browned, scattering the onion around the turkey halfway through. Turn the turkey, pour the bourbon over the top, and boil for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F, 40 to 50 minutes. Rest for about 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
