Total Time 4 hours 45 minutes
Servings 2 -3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 qt. water
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 2 turkey breasts (about 12 oz each)
  • 1 Tbsp oil

Cranberry Soy Glaze

  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Mirin
  • 1 Tbsp Sake
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/3 cup canned cranberry sauce (whole berries)
  • 1/2 Tbsp butter

Instructions 

  • Mix water and salt in a large bowl and brine turkey breasts in it. Let soak for 4 hours in the fridge.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Remove turkey from brine and remove any moisture from turkey with a paper towel. Place turkey on a baking sheet. Liberally rub oil on the surface of the meat. Bake in the oven about 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer indicates 170 F inside.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Put all the ingredients for the sauce in a medium sauce pan and heat to boiling. Cook until slightly thickened. Let cool.
  • Turn the oven up to 450 F. Move the oven rack to the top. Brush or spoon the sauce all over the baked meat and bake the glazed turkey for 2 minutes. Repeat twice, taking care not to burn.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
