Roast Breast of Turkey With Cranberry-Wine Sauce
- 1 whole turkey breast, boned and tied, about 3 1/2 pounds
- 3 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely minced onion
- 1/2 cup finely minced celery
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cups fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 13 cup sugar or honey
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Rub the turkey with two tablespoons of the butter or oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place on a rack in a roasting pan and roast about one hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees.
- While the turkey is roasting, heat the remaining butter or oil in a heavy saucepan.
- Add the onion, garlic and celery and saute over medium heat until the vegetables are uniformly brown.
- Stir in the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Add the stock, cranberries, vinegar and sugar or honey and cook over medium heat until the berries soften and pop, about 10 minutes.
- Continue simmering about 10 minutes longer, until the sauce thickens.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover and keep at a very low simmer until ready to serve.
- When the turkey is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest at least 10 minutes.
- Remove the trussing string and slice the meat about one-quarter inch thick.
- Arrange the slices on a warm platter, drizzle with a little of the sauce and pass the rest alongside.
