Frugal Fridays – Roast Turkey Breast

Will be up later today!  Have to upload some photos when the computer is available.

So, what do you do when you just got off the red-eye, you’ve been gone for almost two weeks, and you’re jet-lagged, with a husband to feed?

You pull out and thaw the turkey breast that you bought in December.  Pat it dry, then drizzle it with olive oil.  Then you sprinkle kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper on the outside and in the cavity.  You sprinkle it with garlic powder and . . . oh, back there, waaaaaay in the back of my cupboard is some spice blend by Emeril.  You sprinkle that on, too.  You quarter an onion and stick it in the cavity, then roast the whole thing at 375 F until done (use a roasting thermometer to be sure – I roast mine to 165 F, and let it rest for about 20 minutes.  The internal temperature rises to 180 F).

This will feed one hungry husband for several days, while you reset your internal clock.
