Indian-Spiced Turkey Breast

• HEALTHY

Ingredients

1. 2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
2. 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3. 3 large garlic cloves
4. One 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
5. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
6. 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
7. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
8. 1 teaspoon ground coriander
9. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
10. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
11. 2 bone-in, skin-on turkey breast halves (about 3 pounds each)
12. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
13. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1. In a food processor, puree the yogurt with the onion, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne. Place the turkey breasts on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour the yogurt marinade over the turkey and rub it over both sides and under the skin. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before roasting.
2. Preheat the oven to 475°. Transfer the turkey breasts (with any marinade that sticks to them) to a large roasting pan, skin side up. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle the butter over the skin. Roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375° and roast for 50 minutes longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast registers 165°. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve.
