Try a versatile Breast Meat Roast from Butterball for a delicious dinner or as a complement to your whole turkey during the holidays.
Preparation
Thaw in Refrigerator (not at room temperature). Place unopened roast on a tray in refrigerator for 1½ to 2 days, or until thawed. To thaw faster, place unopened roast in cold tap water for 3 to 5 hours. Change water every 30 minutes to keep turkey cold. When thawed, keep in refrigerator until ready to cook. Cook within four days of thawing.
Remove plastic netting and wrapper from roast. Leave inner string netting on (this holds the roast together during roasting). Refrigerate gravy packet until ready to use. Drain juices and lightly pat with paper towels. Lift string netting and shift position on roast to make removal easier after cooking. Cover roast with non-stick cooking spray. Additional basting is not necessary.
When you’re ready to cook, be sure to consult our roasting or grilling instructions.
