ingredients

Marinade
¹⁄₄ cup chinese plum sauce
¹⁄₄ cup sake
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 leek, white and light green parts only, cleaned and finely chopped
1 pear, peeled, cored, and chopped (Comice or Anjou)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
Remaining Ingredients
3 ¹⁄₂ lbs boneless tied turkey breast
1 tablespoon chinese plum sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

directions

The marinade: in a small bowl, stir the marinade ingredients together, add salt/pepper to taste.
Place the turkey breast in a large heavy-duty zip-lock plastic bag; pour the marinade in the bag.
Turn the turkey in the bag to coat it evenly; seal bag and refrigerate 3-4 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Place turkey in a roasting pan; pour the marinade over the turkey.
Cover pan tightly with foil.
Roast 1 ½ to 2 hours or until internal temperature is 155°F.
Increase oven temperature to 425°; remove foil.
Brush the turkey with the plum sauce and roast for about 20 more minutes, or until instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 160°, basting with the pan juices halfway through cooking time.
The skin should turn a deep brown color.
Place the turkey on a carving board and reserve the sauce in the roasting pan.
Cover the turkey with foil and let rest 15-20 minutes before carving.
Cut the turkey into ½-inch thick slices and overlap them on a serving platter.
Spoon the sauce over the turkey and garnish with the parsley.
