Ingredients
- 1 whole turkey breast, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan. Drizzle the olive oil over the turkey breast, then rub the spice mixture all over the skin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Roast the turkey breast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Remove the turkey breast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and tender turkey breast.
- Carve the turkey breast into slices and serve with your favorite side dishes.
