Disappointed
Purchased the Honeysuckle bone-in turkey breast for our small Thanksgiving gathering. It was just a little over 7 pounds, I paid $11-something at Aldi's for it. Followed the thawing and oven cooking instructions to a T.. It looked beautiful after the 3 hour roasting, but turned out dry and chewy. I may chop and mix leftovers with mayo and celery to create sandwich spread, thinking the mayo will help moisten. Saw advice (a day late) at Epicurious suggesting to roast the breast upside-down for the first couple of hours.. Honeysuckle instructions said breast side up.. I would try the upside down method, and fill the cavity with something that would self-baste as well, if I was to do this again. This was definitely not the favorite thing on our thanksgiving table though :-(
