Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 6-pound turkey breast, thawed, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Port wine
  • 1/2 cup dark molasses
  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Rub surface of turkey breast with 
1 tablespoon olive oil. Place, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan. Cook for 2 to 2 1⁄2 hours or until breast registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
  3. In a small saucepan, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, wine, molasses, teriyaki sauce, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer (low to medium-low), and cook until slightly thickened, about 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Glaze should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Baste turkey with glaze during last 30 minutes of roasting. Remove pan from oven, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
