Instructions
 

Prepare the Turkey Breast

  • Marinate the turkey breast in a mixture of olive oil, chipotle powder (or chopped chipotle peppers), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Insert a few whole red chili peppers into the turkey cavity. Rub the marinade all over the turkey breast, including inside the cavity. Brush the skin with melted butter.
  • Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan. Add the remaining garlic cloves and a tablespoon of butter inside the cavity.

Roast the Turkey

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the turkey for approximately 30 minutes. Baste with the remaining melted butter 2-3 times during roasting. The skin should be nicely browned.
  • Remove the turkey from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Skim off excess fat from the pan juices. Transfer the pan juices to a gravy boat.
  • Carve the turkey and serve with the pan juices. Remember to remove the chili peppers and garlic cloves from the cavity before carving.

Make the Gravy (Optional)

  • If you want a thicker gravy, add chicken stock to the pan juices. Create a cornstarch slurry by whisking together cornstarch with a little cold water. Stir the slurry into the juices and simmer until thickened.

Prepare the Fingerling Potatoes

  • Pre-boil the fingerling potatoes for 10-15 minutes in boiling water until slightly tender.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let them sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
  • In a pan over medium-low heat, slow roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are browned evenly and cooked through.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a deeper smoky flavor, use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of chipotle powder. Be mindful of the heat level and adjust according to your preference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the potatoes. Ensure they have enough space for even browning. If necessary, roast them in batches.
  • To ensure the turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
  • If you prefer a sweeter chipotle glaze, add a teaspoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
