Roast Turkey Breast With Glazed Vegetables
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 1 pound small parsnips, peeled and halved
- 1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fronds
- 1 large red onion, cut into 8 wedges
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 2 to 3 sprigs rosemary, plus 1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 skin-on, bone-in turkey breast half (3 1/4 to 4 pounds)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, the honey and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl.
- Put the potatoes, parsnips, fennel slices, onion, dried apricots and rosemary sprigs in a roasting pan.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, drizzle with the honey mixture and toss.
- Roast until the vegetables soften, about 30 minutes, stirring once.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, lemon zest and chopped rosemary in a small bowl.
- Rub the herb mixture under and over the turkey skin.
- Season with salt and pepper and bring the meat to room temperature.
- Place the turkey on top of the vegetables in the pan; roast until the skin browns and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes.
- (Cover with foil if the skin is getting too dark.)
- Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes.
- Toss the roasted vegetables with the lemon juice and fennel fronds.
- Slice the turkey and serve with the vegetables.
