6 cups (1.5 litres) cold water

1/4 cup (60 ml) salt

1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar

1 boneless turkey breast half, about 2 lbs (1 kg), with or without skin

8 slices butternut squash, 1/2-inch (1-cm) thick, peeled (elongated and seedless part of the squash)

1 Gala apple, peeled, seeded and cut into 4 slices

2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved

4 fresh sage leaves

1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

Salt and pepper

In a large bowl, combine water, salt and sugar. Add turkey breast. Let brine in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

In a large 33 x 23-cm (13 x 9-inch) baking dish, combine squash, apple, garlic, sage and half the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place slices around the baking dish. Set aside.

Drain and pat turkey breast dry.

In a non-stick skillet, brown meat on each side in remaining oil and place in the centre of the baking dish with vegetables. Roast for about 50 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the centre of the breast reads 74 °C (165 °F). Turn squash slices and apples halfway through cooking. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
