Apple-Stuffed Turkey Breast w/Orange Marmalade Glaze -- w
Serves: 6

1 whole bone-in turkey breast (3 to 3-1/2 lbs.)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
5 sprigs fresh thyme + 1 tsp. chopped
1/2 c. low-sugar orange marmalade, warmed
2 c. apple juice
1/2 c. dry white wine – or – apple juice – or – cider

Preheat oven to 350º. Rinse turkey, pat dry with paper towels, and rub skin all over withy salt and pepper. Combine celery and 1/2 of apples, half of onion, and 3 thyme sprigs in roasting pan and mound in center. Toss 1/4 c. of the marmalade and chopped thyme with the remaining apples and onion in a medium bowl. Stuff half of mixture under turkey skin; place remaining mixture in neck cavity.

Place turkey on top of vegetable mixture in roasting pan. Lightly coat turkey with nonstick cooking spray (preferable olive-oil flavored) and top with remaining thyme sprigs. Pour apple juice in pan. Roast 1 hour, discard thyme sprigs and baste turkey with 2 T. marmalade.

Continue roasting until turkey is golden brown and instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of turkey (not touching bone) reaches 170º, about 15 minutes longer, basting with marmalade. Let stand 10 minutes to set juices.

Transfer turkey to platter. Stir wine into apples and vegetables in pan (Do Not Strain). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced by half. Serve apple-vegetable sauce alongside turkey. Discard Skin before Eating.
