What goes with Turkey Breast?
Turkey breast is a large, lean pectoral muscle with relatively little internal fat. Skin and an external stuffing change the richness of a finished roast, but neither makes the inner meat intrinsically fatty. The tapering end cooks faster than the thick central portion, and a whole crown presents a different heat path from a flattened breast fillet or a tightly rolled preparation.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Turkey Breast?
Use sage and thyme in measured amounts, soften garlic before adding it to a dressing, and separate lemon juice from peel aroma. Cranberry supplies a familiar sweet-sour contrast in a light sauce. A thin soy-skin wrapper, mild cooked orache, fenugreek leaf, hedgehog mushroom or soft toor dal can give the lean meat a different structure; control each accompaniment's portion and moisture.
