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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic powder.
  4. Rub the herb mixture all over the turkey breast.
  5. Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan.
  6. Pour the chicken broth or water into the bottom of the roasting pan.
  7. 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).
  8. Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  9. 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.
