Ingredients

1 (2.5 to 3 lb) bone-in turkey breast, skin on

3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup chicken or turkey broth

Instructions

  3. Place the seasoned turkey breast in a roasting pan. Pour the broth into the pan around the turkey.

Notes

  • For a golden crust, coat the turkey breast with Dijon mustard and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Slow cook the turkey for a hands-off approach and finish with a crispy broil.
  • Grilling gives the turkey a smoky flavor and is perfect for salads or wraps.
  • Store cooked turkey breast in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze it for up to 2 months.
