• Celery Stalks
• Yellow Onion

Cooking With Bourbon

The bourbon whiskey brings a bit of smokiness to this turkey recipe! Which works well with the other ingredients to bring a slice of sweet, smoky-flavored meat to the holiday table.

This recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of bourbon whiskey. Therefore, feel free to use whatever you have on hand in the cabinet!

If you don’t have any on hand, you also don’t need to go out and grab the most expensive bottle either. When choosing bourbon to make this easy turkey breast recipe, Jim Beam or Evan Williams would work just fine!

The bourbon whiskey can also be replaced altogether in this recipe by using apple cider instead. If you choose to do that, I’d recommend grabbing cider from your local orchard for the best flavor!

How To Make Maple Bourbon Glazed Turkey Breast

1. Preheat the oven and pat the turkey breast dry. Then transfer it to a roasting rack in a small roasting pan.
2. Add the celery, onion, apple, lemon, and thyme to the roasting pan around the turkey.
3. Pour in the chicken broth.
4. Melt the butter with bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan.
5. Brush the glaze all over the top of the turkey breast and roast. Brush more glaze onto the turkey every 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board to allow it to rest before carving and serving.

Can I Use This Recipe On A Whole Turkey And Not Just A Turkey Breast?

Yes, this recipe can certainly be used on a whole turkey. However, you’ll need to double the recipe to make a larger batch of bourbon maple glaze to fit the size of the turkey.

How To Store Leftovers

Transfer any leftovers into an airtight container or a Ziploc bag. Then store it in the refrigerator and enjoy the leftover turkey for 3 to 4 days.
