This Brined Boneless Turkey Breast with Maple Glaze is incredibly tender and flavorful. The overnight brine, seasoning, and maple butter glaze when roasting, gives this boneless turkey breast an incredible depth of flavor and just the right balance of slightly sweet and savory. This is an easy, elegant dish for dinner or for a small group for Thanksgiving if you don't want to make a large turkey. This is an overhead shot of the boneless turkey breast placed on a serving platter with sage, thyme, and cranberries. The breast has several slices cut so you can see the interior of the turkey as well.

Just last night, I won first place in a chili contest with this Chili Recipe with Corn. We love this chili. It is the perfect one-pot meal. It makes a great cozy dinner on a busy weeknight, or easily feeds a crowd for game nights, Halloween, or other fall and winter gatherings. Made with ground beef, chili beans, pinto beans, green chiles, broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasonings, and corn, we love how the slight sweetness of the corn balances with the flavorful seasoned chili. This image shows an overhead of the chili served in a bowl with toppings including corn, avocao, green onions and grated cheese. Cornbread is shown above the bowl of chili.
