Use kitchen shears to snip the dried apricots. It's easier, faster, and neater than using a knife and cutting board.
Ingredients
- 1 2-to 2-1/2-pound bone-in turkey breast half
- 1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs (2 slices)
- 1/2 cup snipped dried apricots
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 2 tablespoons apple juice or water
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1 tablespoon water
- Remove bone from turkey breast. Cut a horizontal slit into thickest part of turkey breast to form a 5x4-inch pocket. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, apricots, pecans, apple juice or water, oil, rosemary, and garlic salt. Spoon stuffing mixture into pocket. Securely fasten the opening with water-soaked wooden toothpicks or tie with heavy cotton string. Stir together mustard and water; set aside.
- Place turkey, skin side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Roast turkey, uncovered, in a 325 degree F oven for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until meat thermometer registers 170 degrees F and the stuffing registers 165 degrees F, brushing with mustard mixture during the last 30 minutes of roasting. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Makes 8 servings.
