It's not always easy to know how to cook a nice piece of turkey breast without drying it out, and often we don't dare to try because we're afraid of not cooking it properly. Today we give you a solution: let us introduce you to the Turkey London Broil recipe!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds skinless turkey breast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in ½-inch dice and kept cold
For the Turkey London Broil Marinade:
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil, canola, or vegetable oil
- 3 spring onions
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions:
The first two steps should be done the day before to let the meat absorb the flavors of the marinade. For the cooking, do not forget that this one can vary slightly according to the size of your turkey, I trust you to have an eye on it while the broiling process.
Step 1: To prepare the London Broil marinade, in a bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and green onions cut into small pieces.
Step 2: In a Ziploc bag, place your turkey and pour in the marinade. Close the bag and let it sit overnight in your refrigerator.
Step 3: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Step 4: Take the turkey out of your flavorful marinade and spread the butter on it with your hands making sure it is even. Add ½ teaspoon of black pepper and salt to season the turkey.
Step 5: Place your turkey on a baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in the broiler: your meat needs to sit a little further away from the standard over broiler distance, about 8 inches. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your piece of meat.
Cook for about 15~20 minutes until the exterior is nicely browned. It should be halfway cooked at this point. Then turn over and broil for another 15~20 minutes until nicely colored. If you have a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the turkey piece: it should register 165 degrees F.
Step 6: When the turkey has the right color, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes outside before cutting it into thin slices (be careful to cut against the grain), the meat should be tender and fondant. Serve with campfire veggies, and roasted potatoes.

For the food lovers out there, we have a suggestion, normally we don't reuse a marinade after it's been used, but here it may be possible to reduce the leftover marinade with a little water in a pan. To do this, remove the spring onions from the marinade with a kitchen sieve, and bring your marinade with a little water to a boil, reduce for about ten minutes and you have a tasty London Broil sauce that will go wonderfully with your vegetables and potatoes!
Are there any ingredient variations?
You will find variations of the recipe everywhere, some will use dry thyme, dry rosemary, or lemon juice in their marinade. Feel free to try 🙂
