Ingredients

1 (6 -8 lb) turkey breast
Brine
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups hot water
2 cups apple juice
4 cups ice
Glaze
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preparation

Stir the kosher salt and brown sugar into hot water until dissolved.
Mix in apple juice and ice.
Place the turkey breast in a 2 gallon resalable plastic bag; pour the brine over, seal and place in refrigerator for about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and roast the turkey breast side up on a rack over a shallow roasting pan.
After the first hour begin basting the breast with the maple-butter glaze.
Baste every 15 minutes until the temperature of the breast reaches 165 degrees.
Remove from the oven, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
