How to Make Roasted Turkey Breast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, prepare the herb paste: Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Gently loosen the skin of the turkey breast, being careful not to tear it.
  4. Spread the herb paste evenly between the skin and the flesh of the turkey breast, ensuring it reaches every corner.
  5. Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan.
  6. Roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C). Baste with pan juices every 30 minutes.
  7. Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
