Forking Delicious Turkey Breast

I usually stock up on Turkey around Thanksgiving time and purchase a few whole already brined turkeys from Trader Joes and break them down and keep what I’m not using in my freezer and cook them up over the next few months.   I have a lot of room most times of the year but at Thanksgiving time I don’t have the room to brine Turkeys. I think the Trader Joe Turkeys are far greater and much tastier and also come out far better than pretty much all the turkeys from our local big chain supermarkets. (of course a local free range Turkey would be best…….but it will cost you much much more.  I am a big fan of breaking down the turkeys and preparing each part different. I usually sous vide the turkey breast for perfection…….well anyway for Thanksgiving…..but often I just pan sear each half pounded breast in a fry pan. I recently made this half turkey breast in a fry pan with just salt, pepper, a little granulated garlic and just one teaspoon of flour on each side with nonstick spray in a fry pan on medium high heat. My husband was amazed (again…I guess he forgot) on how well turkey can come out in a fry pan and he thought I sous vide it……..I wasn’t planning about writing about how I prepared this Turkey breast but many people and maybe some restaurants out there can benefit on how this was prepared because it came out FORKING DELICIOUS! I don’t know why turkey isn’t featured more on menus…..this was really something special…

I just pound out the half already brined turkey breast (with a Worcestershire bottle on both sides) I hit the meat with fresh ground sea salt and fresh ground tellicherry black pepper…… a small amount of granulated garlic………Then one teaspoon of flour on each side. The 1/2 breast then goes on a already heated, canola sprayed lightly covered fry pan for about ten minutes on one side and about 10 minutes uncovered on the other side.

Here you are…..Crusty, Moist and FORKING DELICIOUS! I do chicken breast the same way but timing varies depending on size. (usually half the time or less) See it was very easy. I don’t know when I go out to eat I don’t get something this tasty.
