Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Turkey
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat turkey breast completely dry with paper towels.
- Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Rub olive oil all over turkey, then season with the spice mixture.
- Place turkey breast-side up in a roasting pan. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while preparing glaze.
Make the Glaze and Roast
- Whisk together honey, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Brush turkey with about 1/3 of the glaze. Roast for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and brush with another 1/3 of the glaze. Arrange pineapple rings around the turkey and sprinkle them with brown sugar.
- Continue roasting for 30-45 minutes more, brushing with remaining glaze every 15 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the caramelized pineapple rings and pan juices.
Notes
The turkey is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F. If the glaze starts browning too quickly, tent with foil. Fresh pineapple works much better than canned for this recipe. Leftover turkey keeps in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
