Roast Turkey Breast with Cloudberry Sauce
4 lb (2 kg) turkey breast 1/2 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil 1 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper 1/2 cup broth (turkey or chicken)
3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 knob ginger root, thin sliced 1/3 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons Cloudberry Liqueur
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Rinse turkey breast and pat dry with paper towel. Rub lightly with
vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on a rack in
pre-heated oven at 350 degrees F (175 C), 20 minutes per pound or until
meat thermometer registers 170 F (77 C). Baste and turn occasionally.
Saute garlic and ginger in butter in a skillet until limp but not
browned. Add lemon juice, salt, honey, and broth and cook over low
heat for a few minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in orange juice and add to
skillet. Stir over moderate heat until mixture turns transparent and
thickens slightly. Add cloudberry liqueur and stir over high heat for
1 minute. Strain sauce and pour over carved turkey breast. For a
Finnish finish (not my pun), circle turkey with a wreath of fresh dill
and clusters of fresh cranberries. Serves 6 to 8.
The recipe doesn't say this, but if cloudberry liqueur is unavailable,
you could try using cloudberry jam instead, but perhaps not as much.
If anyone has any other recipes/suggestions let me know.
BTW, if anyone in the US wants to find a local seller of the liqueurs
you might contact the US importer, Marli Inc. of Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
