Directions

Prepare the Fruity Chestnut Turkey Breast

  1. In a roasting pan lined with parchment paper, spread out the pieces of onion, celery, and pear as the bottom layer. Place turkey breast on top.

  2. In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together and brush evenly over turkey. Marinate overnight.

  3. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

  4. Sprinkle chestnuts around the turkey. Pour bread crumbs mixed with garlic on top, gently pressing it down. Carefully pour pomegranate juice all around the chicken. Cover with parchment paper and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for one and a half hours or until done. Do not overbake.
