INGREDIENT
– 1 cup chicken broth or white wine– 1 (2 to 3-pound) boneless turkey breast (skin on)– 4 to 6 Tbsp unsalted butter softened*– 3 large cloves garlic minced– 2 tsp onion powder– 2 tsp paprika– 2 tsp sea salt **
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325°F. Put 1 cup of chicken broth, white wine, apple cider, or water in your roasting pan.
Step 1
Unpack the boneless turkey breast and place it on a large plate or cutting board. Pat excess moisture with paper towels.
Step 2
Mix softened butter, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, and sea salt in a small bowl.
Step 3
Rub the garlic butter mixture on the turkey breast and place it on the roasting pan. The turkey breast should be 160 degrees Fahrenheit after 25 minutes per pound.
Step 4
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast.
Step 5
After baking, foil the turkey breast and let it rest for 15–20 minutes. This distributes juices evenly throughout the breast for the tenderest result.
Step 6
While cooking, the breast should reach FDA-approved 165 degrees F for safe consumption.
Step 7
You can spoon the roasting pan juices over the turkey breast before foiling and serving. Turkey breast slices should be served with your choice of sides.
