registers 170 degrees in the thickest part to the
breast, away from the bone. Meanwhile, melt the
preserves in a small saucepan over low heat. Strain

horseradish and set aside. Transfer the turkey breast

broiler. Brush the turkey generously with glaze and
place 5-6 inches from the broiler for a minute or two,
just until set. Serve extra glaze on side if desired.
