Ingredients
– 1 (3-4 lb) bone-in, skin-on turkey breast
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 lemon, zested and juiced
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. 3. Place the turkey breast in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the marinade all over the turkey, making sure to coat the skin evenly.
4. 4. Roast the turkey for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the turkey with the pan juices halfway through the cooking time.
5. 5. Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, let the turkey breast come to room temperature before cooking. You can also try different herb and citrus combinations, such as rosemary and orange or thyme and lemon.
