BBQ Turkey Breast Roast

From The Biggest Loser Cookbook



Ingredients:
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast roast
1 tsp EVOO
2 tbsp barbecue sauce
1/4 cup water

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly mist an 8 x 8 glass baking dish or nonstick baking pan with olive oil spray. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Place the turkey on a cutting board. With a fork, pierce each side deeply about 25 times. Drizzle on the oil and rub to coat evenly on both sides. Sprinkle on the reserved seasoning mixture. Rub to coat evenly on both sides. With the smooth side of the breast down, drizzle on half of the barbecue sauce, rubbing to coat. Place the turkey, smooth side up, in the prepared pan. Rub the remaining barbecue sauce over the smooth side of the breast. Pour the water into the pan, taking care not to pour it over the turkey.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Place on a clean cutting board. Carve, against the grain, into thin slices.

Comments:
Ok, so where does one procure a 1 1/2 pound turkey breast roast? I looked at three different stores and couldn't find a turkey breast smaller than 5 pounds. And that sucker would take a whole lot longer than 35 minutes to cook. I went with turkey tenderloins and they ended up kind of dry. I'm not a turkey fan in the first place. Add to that the barbecue thing and I only lasted two bites. Not for me.
