What's the Deal with a Turkey London Broil?
Think fancy name, but it's actually a lean and mean cut of turkey breast, perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Plus, it's like a blank canvas for your culinary creativity. We'll get to that in a sec.
Taming the Turkey: The Marinade Magic
Here's where things get interesting. You can go classic with a simple olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic marinade. Or, unleash your inner rockstar with a symphony of flavors - think Italian herbs, a touch of citrus, or even a kick of Korean BBQ. The key is to marinate that bad boy for at least a couple of hours, or even overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
Pro Tip: Don't have a fancy marinade container? A zip-lock bag is your best friend here. Just toss everything in, massage it gently (because, you know, raw meat), and shove it in the fridge.
The Oven Roast Down Low (and Slow-ish)
Now, for the main event! Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature, around 375°F (190°C). Place your marinated turkey on a baking sheet and let it roast for about 20 minutes per pound.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Here's the important part: We want juicy, delicious turkey, not a hockey puck. To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Don't Peek! Resist the urge to open the oven door every two seconds. This lets precious heat escape, prolonging cooking time and hindering that beautiful golden brown crust.
The Grand Finale: Resting is Key
Once your turkey hits the magic temperature, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a truly melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Now, carve that bad boy up against the grain (those are the long white lines in the meat) for the most tender slices.
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Winner, winner, turkey dinner!
