Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 pound turkey breast
• 4 Tbsp butter, softened
• 2 tsp stevia
• 1 tsp chili powder or cajun spice blend
• 1/4 tsp grated sea salt
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp grated pepper
• 1 cup of whipping cream
• black pepper to taste
• cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the butter with the stevia, chili powder, cumin, and pepper in a small bowl. Then Stir.

Spread this mixture over the entire turkey breast. Set in an oven-proof pan, roast the turkey breast for about 2 hours at 375 degrees. Baste with pan juices at the one-hour point and add ½ cup of water. Cover the breast with foil when it gets nice and brown. You’ll know it’s done when your meat thermometer reads 170 degrees or higher. Baste again just before you remove it from the oven.

Remove pan from oven. Take the turkey out of the pan and cover with aluminum foil to set while you make the gravy.

If the oven proof pan can now go on the stove you can just transfer it to the stove top. If not, pour the juices from the turkey into a sauce pan. Be sure to scrape up and transfer all the little bits of spices and browned turkey that might have stuck to the bottom of the roasting pan. Remove any excess fat with a skimmer.

Reduce the broth until ½ of it is gone by lightly boiling it, and then add the add the cream. Heat until cream thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

If you’re on ZReduction you can have 2-3 Tbl of the gravy. Don’t go overboard because it is pretty rich.

This turkey has a very mild cajun flavor so if you want it zippier, just add a dusting of cayenne and stir. I do love the zip.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
