Roasted Bone-in Turkey Breast
This roasted bone-in turkey breast recipe ensures tender and flavorful meat by using a dry brine first and then cooking it in the oven with fresh herbs, butter, and lemon until perfection. It is great for a simple dinner idea or a smaller holiday table when you do not want to cook the whole bird.
Equipment
- 1 deep dish with high sides
Ingredients
- 1 bone-in turkey breast I used split
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 1 package poultry fresh herb blend (rosemary, sage, thyme)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Pat dry turkey breast. Rub it generously with the mix of 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder , ½ teaspoon black pepper , ¼ teaspoon ground coriander , ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg . Place it it the fridge for up to 2 hours uncovered.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a deep glass dish with some parchment paper.
- Take out seasoned turkey and bring it to a room temperature. Coat it with softened butter.
- Add fresh herbs at the bottom of the pan. Place turkey breast on top and add some lemon wedges there.
- Bake turkey breast uncovered in the preheated to 375°F oven for about 50-90 minutes, depending on the size. The turkey is cooked when the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the turkey breast rest for about 5-10 minutes before cutting it, so the juices redistribute and the meat is more tender.
Notes
If you decide to brine turkey longer than 2 hours, make sure to cover it.
It is better to take it out the fridge at least 20 minutes before baking to bring it to a room temperature.
Depending on the size of the turkey breast, this recipe served 2-3 people.
