This Oven Roasted Turkey Breast recipe delivers incredibly juicy results, perfect for your smaller holiday gathering. You will love how simple it is to achieve moist, flavorful turkey.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) bone-in turkey breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pat the turkey breast completely dry with paper towels. This step helps your skin get crisp.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
  4. Rub the oil mixture evenly all over the turkey breast.
  5. Place the turkey breast, skin-side up, in a roasting pan.
  6. Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the turkey from the oven. Tent loosely with foil.
  8. Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time keeps your meat juicy.
  9. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra juiciness, you can baste the turkey with pan drippings every 30 minutes.
  • If the skin browns too quickly, loosely cover the breast with aluminum foil.
  • Always use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
