Notes

Storage Instructions:

Storing apricot glazed turkey breast correctly is essential for keeping the turkey fresh and flavorful. Proper storage ensures that the dish does not spoil, making it safe to consume. When storing this dish, it's important to allow it to cool properly. Allow the cooked meat to cool down at room temperature before transferring it into an air-tight container or zip-loc bag. The turkey can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
You can reheat the turkey in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until it is warmed through. If you prefer to reheat your turkey in the oven, preheat your oven to 350°F and cook it in an oven-safe dish covered with aluminum foil. Bake the turkey until the minimum internal temperature reaches 165°F.
