Is your Thanksgiving menu ready? Mine is! This year, like every other year, I'm only preparing the turkey breast. I don't like wasting food, but my family only likes white meat, so by only cooking the breast I save time and money. The best part of preparing only the breast is that you don't have to spend all day cooking. You can even leave the turkey seasoned over night, something I highly recommend. This will make the turkey flavorful and save you even more time. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ingredients

  • 1 3 lb turkey breast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup fig butter
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili pepper powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/3 cup sage leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 - 1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth

Directions

  • 2
    Mix the fig butter, vinaigrette, ancho chili pepper, garlic, onion, cumin and sage leaves.

    Rub the turkey with this mixture, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. You can do this the night before to give the turkey more flavors.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If you can't find fig butter in the market, you can make it at home. Place 2 cups of figs in a food processor with 1/2 cup of water and 2 cups of melted butter, process until pasty in consistency. Add more water if necessary.
