Ingredients
Scale
1 (3-4 pound) boneless, skin-on turkey breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic powder.
Rub the herb mixture all over the turkey breast.
Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan.
Pour the chicken broth or water into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F (74°C).
Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve.
Notes
For a crispier skin, you can broil the turkey breast for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching it closely to prevent burning.
If you prefer, you can use fresh herbs instead of dried. Use 1 tablespoon each of fresh thyme, rosemary, and sage.
This recipe is a wonderful way to create a smaller, more intimate Thanksgiving feast.
