Honey-Citrus Turkey Breast


Just right for Thanksgiving, a turkey recipe with a hint of orange and honey. And, it is a crazy piece of cake to cook!
1 tbsp. flour
1 orange, peeled
4 to 8 lb. turkey breast, thawed
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. sweet orange marmalade
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. water
2 to 4 tbsp. flour
1/2 to 1 tsp. instant chicken bouillon
1 orange, sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shake flour in large size (14 x 20 inch) oven cooking bag. Place bag in 12 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan. Cut orange into 4 slices and place in bag. Place turkey breast on orange slices. Combine honey, marmalade, nutmeg and salt; spoon over turkey breast. Close bag with nylon tie; make 6 half-inch slits in top of bag. Insert meat thermometer through slit in bag into thickest part of turkey breast.
Cook 15 to 17 minutes per pound or until meat thermometer registers 180 to 185 degrees. For gravy, remove turkey from bag. Strain drippings. In saucepan stir water into flour until smooth. (Use 2 tablespoons flour and a teaspoon bouillon for each cup of turkey drippings.) Add chicken bouillon and turkey drippings. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Garnish with orange. Serves 8 to 10.
