Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 whole turkey breast (4-5 lbs)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Rinse the turkey breast and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it on a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
• Rub the mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to coat it evenly.

• Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the turkey moist during roasting.
• Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast the turkey for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

• If the turkey becomes too brown, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
• Once done, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Helpful Tips

For a crispier skin, you can broil the turkey breast for the last 5 minutes of baking. To make this recipe more versatile, try adding your favorite herbs or even a touch of butter under the skin for extra flavor. Beginners can use an oven thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked perfectly.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover turkey breast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the meat.

Pairings

This Roasted Turkey Breast pairs beautifully with classic sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce. For drinks, consider a light and fruity white wine or a sparkling apple cider to complement the flavors.
