Description

A tender and juicy roasted turkey breast with a crispy golden skin, perfect for festive occasions or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 turkey breast (bone-in or boneless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 lemon (sliced)
  • Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme to create a rub.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey breast, coating evenly.
  4. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and arrange lemon slices on top. Roast for 1.5 to 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check doneness, and feel free to experiment with different herbs for flavor variations.
