Ingredients

Marinade for Turkey

  • 1 whole pineapple peeled and chopped
  • 2 medium onions peeled and chopped
  • 2 whole oranges washed and chopped (peel and all)
  • ¼ cup garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper (salt-free)
  • 3 tablespoons oregano , dry
  • 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons fresh sage chopped
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup molasses optional

Mirepoix (roasted vegetables)

  • 2 medium carrots chopped into large pieces
  • 3 medium onions chopped into large pieces
  • 1 celery stalks (finely diced or chopped)
  • 2 garlic finely minced

Turkey Breasts

  • 6 pounds turkey breasts

Instructions

  • Remove skin from turkey breasts.
  • For marinade: In a food processor, combine all ingredients (pineapple through molasses) and puree. Use mixture to marinate turkey breasts in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Remove turkey breasts from marinade and drain. Reserve marinade if you are making Sage Dressing.
  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Place mirepoix ingredients in a large roasting pan and place marinated turkey breasts on top.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for 2-1/2 hours.
  • Remove cover and bake at 450 degrees for 1 hour or until done. (The juice from the breast center should be clear.) For nicely moist turkey breasts, a meat thermometer should register no more than 175 degrees F.
  • Use drippings from pan to make gravy. First, skim off any fat. Then puree vegetables and juice.
