Ingredients:
1 (4-6 lb) turkey breast (bone-in or boneless)
3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup chicken or turkey broth
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Turkey Breast
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil (or melted butter) with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, sage, salt, and pepper.
Rub this flavorful mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to get under the skin for extra juiciness.
Set Up the Roasting Pan
Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan to elevate it for even heat distribution.
Pour 1 cup of chicken or turkey broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat tender and moist during roasting.
Roast to Perfection:
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer. The thickest part of the breast should reach 165°F (74°C).
Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with pan juices to enhance its flavor and moisture.
Rest and Serve:
Remove the turkey breast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This step locks in the juices for tender, succulent slices.
Serve your perfectly roasted turkey breast with your favorite sides for a delicious meal!
