How to Make Roast Turkey Breast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If the turkey breast is wrapped in netting, carefully cut the string from the top of the breast, leaving the bottom two ends intact.
- In a shallow baking dish, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place the turkey breast in the baking dish and tuck 2-3 cloves of minced garlic underneath.
- Season generously with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or paprika).
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the turkey breast.
- Roast for 45 minutes.
- Add 1/3 cup of water to the baking dish. Continue roasting for 30-40 minutes, basting the turkey with pan juices every 15 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170°F (77°C).
- Remove from oven and let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
