Saffron Apricot Braised Turkey London Broil
Servings
3 Servings
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 to 2 pound turkey london broil (half boneless & skinless turkey breast)
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon dry oregano
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or orange juice)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch saffron
- 3 large Spanish onions sliced into 1/4 moons, divided
- canola oil as needed
- 3 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1 28- oz. can diced tomatoes in juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2/3 cup dry apricots diced (about 14 pieces)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Turn the turkey breast over and open the flap with a gentle tug of your fingers. Lay it on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Place another loosely fitted sheet of plastic wrap on top. Lightly pound the thicker part with a mallet until it is an even thickness with the smaller part.
- Place the turkey in a 2-gallon sized zip-tight bag. Place the orange juice, water, honey and oregano into a small bowl. Mix until well combined and pour into the zip-tight bag with the turkey and seal. Place on a baking tray and refrigerate for 2 – 6 hours. Occasionally turn over to marinate the other side.
- In a small bowl combine the white wine with the cinnamon and saffron. Stir and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Grease a large ovenproof casserole and spread out half the onions on the bottom of the pan. Place the turkey london broil on top of the onions, (flap side down), with about 1 cup marinade. Discard the remainder of the marinade. Roast in a 375˚ F. oven for approximately 40 – 50 minutes.
- In a medium skillet add 2 tablespoons oil, remaining onions, garlic and oregano. Cook over medium heat until lightly golden. Pour in the saffron blend, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to get every flavorful drop. Add in the tomatoes, water and apricots. Bring to a light simmer.
- Remove from the turkey from the oven when cooked through (at 165 F.), and keep lightly covered to rest for 15 minutes. Slice across the grain and place on a platter and keep warm.
- While the turkey is at the resting stage, combine the Saffron Apricot Sauce with the onions and turkey pan drippings. Bring to a simmer and mix well.
- Adjust the sauce seasonings with salt and pepper, as desired. Stir well and pour sauce over the turkey slices just before serving.
- Note: This recipe easily doubles up, as needed, though you’ll only need a single batch of the marinade.
