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!
