Ingredients for Kittencal S Moist Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

  • Chicken Broth
  • 1 (6-pound) bone-in, skin-on fresh turkey breast
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Celery Rib
  • Carrot
  • 1 cup chopped onions

How to Make Kittencal S Moist Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a roasting pan large enough to hold the turkey breast and vegetables.
  3. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the roasting pan.
  4. Rinse the turkey breast thoroughly under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  5. In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of softened butter with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  6. Using your hands, rub the butter mixture all over the turkey breast, including under the skin.
  7. Generously season the turkey breast with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  8. Scatter 2 cups chopped celery, 1 cup chopped carrots, and 1 cup chopped onions into the roasting pan over the broth.
  9. Place the turkey breast skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
  10. Loosely tent the turkey breast with a small piece of aluminum foil.
  11. Roast covered for 30-35 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and continue roasting for another 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast (away from the bone) registers 160°F (71°C).
  13. Transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  14. Serve and enjoy! Don't forget to make gravy with the pan juices!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
