Apricot glazed turkey breast is the perfect dish to bring to the table this Easter. Not only is it a festive and flavorful main course, but it's also a gluten-free and nutritious dinner option that can be cooked up in no time.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the turkey breast in a large roasting pan and brush on the olive oil. Then, season with salt and pepper.
Cover the turkey loosely with foil and place it in the oven.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary. Baste the turkey with the apricot mixture every 30 minutes.
Cook the turkey for 1 ½ - 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer reads a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (without touching the bone).
Let turkey stand for above 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
