Roast Turkey with Apples and Cider Sauce
Ingredients
• 1 (3 pound, boneless) turkey roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 2 (1/2-pound) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 16 wedges
• 1 cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
• 2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
• 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot (cornstarch)
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Rub Turkey with olive oil and place skin side up on a rack in roasting pan. Combine seasonings; sprinkle over roast. Bake at 375 degrees, (45 to 60 minutes) or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes before slicing.
While meat is standing, melt butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add apple wedges and sauté, turning occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate, and then add chicken broth and cider to skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat and meanwhile whisk together arrowroot and water in a small bowl. Whisk arrowroot mixture into sauce and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, measured salt and pepper, and any juices that have accumulated on platter.
Cut meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve topped with apples and sauce.
