COOK'S TIP
After removing the turkey from the oven, cover it and let it stand for
10 minutes. This standing time will allow the internal temperature of
the meat to rise to 180 F, the proper doneness temperature for turkey.
NOTES : Excellent for entertaining or a special Sunday dinner, this
turkey breast is glazed with an easy apricot sauce for extra moisture
and flavor.
