Orange Glazed Turkey Breast Recipe
Orange Glazed Jerk Turkey Breast
This is a spin on the traditional roasted turkey breast that is served in The USA. Back home in Jamaica, we like to put our own twist on any recipe that we can find. The Jerk seasoning with the orange glaze mixes together to form the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. This USA-Jamaican fusion will definitely have your family and guests wanting more.
Although Thanksgiving isn’t officially celebrated in Jamaica, it is not uncommon for Jamaicans to celebrate the holiday in the USA, and in Canada. Jamaicans have incorporated their traditional recipes into the whole Thanksgiving tradition. That is because so much of the day is centered around food, and if there is food involved, you better believe Jamaicans are interested. So much of our culture is centered around food, anything that has to do with food and recipes, we are drawn to it like a moth to a flame.
