Published: 8/17/2026

Turkey breast is the ultimate lean protein. Glazed in a savory honey-soy reduction and served with a traditional Nordic root mash for a seasonal, aesthetic meal.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1.5 lbs (680 g) turkey breast
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
• 1 lb (450 g) rutabaga and potatoes, cubed
• 2 tbsp (28 g) butter
• 1 tbsp (8 g) flour (for the pan gravy)

Instructions

1. Roast the turkey breast at 350°F (175°C), brushing with the glaze every 15 minutes.
2. Mash the boiled rutabaga and potatoes with the butter.
3. Slice the turkey and serve over the mash.

Pro Tips

• Brown the Flour for Gravy: Create a quick pan gravy by browning 1 tbsp (8 g) of flour in the turkey drippings until it turns mahogany. This dextrinization adds a nutty, rich Nordic depth.
