This Simple Herb and Garlic Roasted Turkey Breast is the perfect way to get delicious roasted turkey in about one hour without the fuss!
NOTES:
Ingredients:
- 3 pound turkey breast, bone in, skin on
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the turkey and pat it dry.
- Combine the garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the turkey, top to bottom, and underneath the skin. Place in a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet. No rack required.
- Roast at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour, or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, without touching bone, reaches 165 degrees.
- Cover the turkey with foil and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes. Carve and serve!
NOTES:
- For best results, rub the turkey breast and leave out at room temperature for about one hour prior to roasting. This way, it will cook much more evenly.
- Use the drippings to make a pan gravy if you wish. The meat will be plenty moist without it, so the choice is yours!
- I used the convection roast feature on my oven at 325 degrees. If you don’t have convection, simply roast at 350 degrees.
- Fresh herbs may be substituted for dried — use about 1 tablespoon of each.
