I've made this recipe from the Unibroue website a few times, and it's been awesome everytime. It's become my regular turkey recipe now. I amended the last part to make a gravy with the beer/juice/drippings because I hated to let that beer go to waste. Turned out it makes the best damn gravy I've ever had!
Ingredients
• 1 wild or grain fed turkey breast, 1.5 kilos (3 lbs)
• 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter
• salt and pepper to taste
• 50 ml (1/4 cup) shallots (may substitute onions)
• 375 ml (1 1/2 cup) cranberries
• 50 ml (1/4 cup) sugar
• 341 ml (12 oz) Don de Dieu (Unibroue)
• 375 ml (1 1/2 cup) concentrated stock (or commercial brown sauce)
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) orange juice
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C). Place the breast in a buttered baking dish and add a little butter on top. Add salt and pepper and bake for 1 hour. Add shallots, cranberries and sugar, and bake for another 15 minutes. Add the beer, the gravy, and the orange juice.
Cook for another 20-30 minutes. Place everything in the bottom of the roasting pan (including soggy stuffing that fell out, cranberries, drippings, beer, etc) into a blender and puree to make a thick gravy to serve with the turkey.
