Buttermilk Marinated Turkey Breast cooks up tender and moist and is great for when you don’t need to cook a whole turkey. It cooks much quicker than a whole turkey and an easy gravy can be made form the pan drippings.

 
The turkey breast marinates in buttermilk for a good 8 to 12 hours. The longer, the better. This was the first time I had made a turkey breast marinated in buttermilk, but it won’t be my last. I marinate chicken in buttermilk all the time, so it makes sense that it would work great for a turkey. And it does.

 
If your turkey is frozen, defrost it first in the refrigerator. It will take 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds of turkey. Then add it to the buttermilk marinade. I also add some kosher salt, Tabasco sauce, and garlic powder for flavor. The amount of Tabasco sauce isn’t enough to make it spicy, but it does give it a little flavor kick. I use a bone-in turkey breast but a buttermilk marinade works well with a boneless turkey breast so you could use a boneless one instead.
Use the drippings to make an easy gravy to serve it with.
Give this recpe a try and I think you’ll find that Buttermilk Marinated Turkey Breast takes the moisture, juiciness, and flavor to a whole new level.
