Description

The spices used in this Herb Roasted Turkey Breast are the perfect blend of herbs to give you an incredibly tender and juicy Turkey.


Ingredients

  • Turkey Breast (or Bone In Turkey) 
  • 2 tablespoons of Salt
  • 4 teaspoons of Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of Granulated Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons of Paprika 
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of Black Pepper
  • 4 tablespoons of dried Basil
  • ¼ cup Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Mix all of the dried herbs, and store in a jar with a lid or an airtight container.  
  2. If your Turkey has the skin still on it, pour the lemon juice and olive oil under the skin.  Generously sprinkle the dry herbs under the skin. If your Turkey Breast does not have skin on it, then follow the same steps as above, placing all of the ingredients directly on the Turkey Breast.  
  3. Place your Turkey in an oven safe baking dish and cover. The Turkey is finished when the internal temperature reads 165 degrees. 
  4. Once baking is complete, let the Turkey rest. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

The cook time will vary depending on the size of your Turkey. The Turkey is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

  1. We roasted a bone in/skin on Turkey breast on the pellet grill for Thanksgiving, following the recipe as stated and cooked to 165 degrees.

    The turkey was moist and flavorful, and received rave reviews from a family that doesn’t generally eat much turkey.

    The only thing that was disappointing, was that there were no leftovers!
