Marinated Turkey

I know you think I have posted every recipe in Gena Knox's new cookbook, Southern My Way, but I promise there are so many more! The turkey was wonderful and passed the picky husband test. It was great by itself or on a sandwich.

Marinated Turkey
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/8 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1/8 cup freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 cup kosher salt
- 1 (5-6 lb) turkey breast (Hollie, this is nothing like cooking a whole turkey-I promise)
- 1 turkey-roasting oven bag

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine vinegar, parsley, oil, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Place turkey in oven bag and set in a shallow roasting pan. Pour marinade over turkey in bag, seal, and bake 4 hours for a 5-lb. breast (5 hours for a 6-lb. breast). Remove pan from oven and let turkey cool in bag. Remove turkey, pour juices into a large measuring cup, and refrigerate. Using hands, shred turkey meat and discard bones. (The meat practically falls off the bones by itself). Once reserved marinade has cooled, skim fat from top, drizzle over turkey, and serve.

Since Davis was leaving to go out of town, I served with his favorite side, brown rice, and I also served asparagus. It is so nice to have plenty to eat one night, and more than enough leftovers for other nights!
