Description

Juicy turkey breasts glazed with a sticky, sweet-tart pomegranate sauce, infused with garlic and rosemary for a rich, aromatic finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large turkey breasts (about 1.5 pounds total)
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes until reduced by half and thickened.
  3. Heat olive oil in the skillet. Sear turkey breasts for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. Pour half the glaze over the turkey. Transfer the skillet to the oven or move the turkey to a baking dish and cover with glaze.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Baste with remaining glaze halfway through.
  6. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5–10 minutes. Drizzle with reserved glaze.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Double the glaze for extra drizzling or leftovers.
  • Use fresh pomegranate juice for the best flavor.
  • Let turkey rest before slicing to retain juices.
