This Juicy Garlic Herb Roast Turkey Breast recipe offers a flavorful and moist turkey breast, perfectly roasted with a fragrant garlic and fresh herb paste. Ideal for a simple yet delicious main course, this method ensures a tender texture with a beautifully crisp skin.

Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Breast

  • 1 (3-4 pound) boneless, skin-on turkey breast

Herb and Garlic Paste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the turkey breast evenly.
  2. Prepare Turkey: Pat the turkey breast dry thoroughly using paper towels to ensure the skin crisps during roasting.
  3. Mix Herb Paste: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to form a fragrant herb paste.
  4. Apply Paste: Rub the herb and garlic paste all over the turkey breast, making sure it is evenly coated for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Roast Turkey: Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest Turkey: Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy.
  7. Serve: Slice the turkey breast and serve warm, enjoying the delicious garlic herb flavors and tender texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the turkey breast is boneless and skin-on for the best roasting results.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and drying out the turkey.
  • Letting the turkey rest after roasting is critical for juicy meat.
  • Fresh herbs provide much better flavor than dried for this recipe.
  • This recipe can be adjusted in time depending on turkey breast size; larger pieces may require longer roasting.
