Turkey Breast With Tequila Sunrise Sauce

Category: Turkey

1 turkey breast about 3 pounds
2 large onions sliced
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup tequila
1 clove garlic minced
or pinch of instant garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
or 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and coarsely ground pepper to taste

In a nonstick roasting pan prepared with cooking spray, arrange turkey, skin side up. Bake, unseasoned in a preheated 425-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until skin is crisp. Drain and discard melted fat.


Spread onions under turkey. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over turkey. Lower heat to 350 degrees. Cover and bake for 1 hour or until turkey is tender. Uncover and bake until skin is crisp and liquid is reduced to a thick glaze. Baste frequently with pan liquid. (If needed, add a tablespoon of water.)
