Ingredients
- 1.5 pound turkey breast boneless, skin on
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- Sea salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Place turkey breast, skin side up, on a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and cover with chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread mixture on both sides, and underneath skin.
- Place turkey in oven, and roast until the skin is golden brown, and thermometer reads 165 degrees F in the center of the breast. Remove the turkey at ~ 20 minute intervals to baste with drippings.
- Remove turkey from oven when it is done, cover it with aluminum foil, and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Your cooking time and number of servings will depend on the size of your turkey breast. I used a half turkey breast which took about 45 minutes to reach 165 degrees F, and yielded 1 1/2 pounds of cooked turkey meat.
