FOR GLAZE
Rinse the turkey breast and place it in a large (6-8 qt) heavy bottomed pot. Add the broth or water, salt if using, pepper, celery, carrot, onion, and parsley. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered for about 1½ hours, until a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees in the thickest part to the breast, away from the bone. Meanwhile, melt the preserves in a small saucepan over low heat. Strain them through a sieve, pressing with thte back of a spoon. Return to the ssaucepan. Stir in mustard and horseradish and set aside. Transfer the turkey breast to a baking dish and remove and discard skin. Refrigerate the cooking liquid for later use. Heat the broiler. Brush the turkey generously with glaze and place 5-6 inches from the broiler for a minute or two, just until set. Serve extra glaze on side if desired.
