Chipotle Turkey Breast Roast Recipe
We’re into November, which means the fast-approaching holidays are making their way to the forefront of people’s minds. So I thought it was the perfect time to share with you this Chipotle Turkey Breast recipe, which I have done for the last two years, and it has been a big HIT every time. This recipe is perfect for so many reasons, especially if you’re only cooking for a few people and don’t want to cook a whole turkey and end up with tons of leftovers. It’s also great if your family only likes white meat. This Chipotle Turkey Breast is juicy, tender, and packed full of flavor.
Chipotle Marinade/Sauce
The chipotle marinade/sauce is delicious! Just with a few ingredients, you can turn your boring turkey into a hot fiesta. How? Chipotle peppers in adobo enhance the turkey meat with an irresistible smoky heat that you are going to love, and Chicken Flavor Granulated Bouillon adds a delicious Latino touch with its blend of tomato, chicken flavors, onions, parsley, and spices.

HOW TO COOK A TURKEY BREAST ROAST
If you buy a frozen Butterball Turkey Breast Roast, the packet says that it can be cooked from frozen, but I prefer thaw it in the refrigerator. This is how I cook it:
USE A WHOLE TURKEY BREAST INSTEAD
Yes, you can! If you decide to use a whole turkey breast, plan ahead because it needs to be completely thawed before cooking. Follow the same steps: marinade the night before and remove from the marinade 1 hour before roasting.
Bone-In Turkey Breast: cook at 375° F or until the thickest part of the meat registers 160° F, about 15-20 minutes per pound. Cover the top with a piece of foil if the top starts to brown too much. Once it’s done, cover it with aluminum foil and let it stand for about 10 -15 minutes before cutting. Boneless Turkey Breast: cook at 375° F or until the thickest part of the meat registers 160° F, about 12-15 minutes per pound. If the top start to brown too much, cover it with a piece of foil. Once it’s done, cover it with aluminum foil and let it stand for about 10 -15 minutes before cutting.
