Questions about Turkey breast meat only
How do you cook turkey breast so it stays juicy?
For quick cooking, slice it evenly, sear in a hot pan with a little oil, then lower the heat and cook until the centre reaches 75 °C. Rest it for a few minutes before slicing so the juices settle.
Can you roast turkey breast without drying it out?
Roast it in a covered dish with a splash of stock, then uncover it towards the end to brown. The cooking time depends on the joint’s thickness, so use a thermometer and take it out when the centre reaches 75 °C.
How long does raw turkey breast keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered on the lowest shelf and cook it within one or two days of buying. Store cooked turkey in a sealed container in the fridge and use it within three to four days.
Can you freeze turkey breast?
Yes. Freeze it in an airtight, freezer-safe package, ideally in portions, and thaw it in the fridge rather than on the worktop. Once thawed, cook it promptly and don’t refreeze it raw.
What goes well with turkey breast, and what can you make with it?
Its mild flavour works with sage, thyme, mustard, lemon and garlic. Use cooked slices in sandwiches or salads, or add them to a turkey curry, pie or stir-fry.
How much turkey breast is a typical serving?
A portion of about 113 g is a useful guide; that amount provides 27 g of protein and 129 kcal.
Should you wash turkey breast before cooking it?
No. Washing raw poultry can splash germs around the sink and worktops; cook it thoroughly instead, until the centre reaches 75 °C, and wash your hands and utensils after handling it.
