Notes
The marinade makes this recipe, and in order to make it the most flavorful, we recommend the following:
- Marinate turkey breast for at least 4 hours, but it can be marinated for up to 2 days.
- Do not marinate the turkey for longer than 2 days. It will start to get tough and dense from the acidity.
- You can freeze marinated turkey breasts. However, they need to be frozen within the 2-day window. When ready to cook, pull out the night before and let them thaw in the fridge.
