Scale
Ingredients
- 7 – 7 1/2 pound turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 carrots
- 1 large onion sliced into thick rounds
- Fresh rosemary, thyme or sage
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the carrots and onions (and fresh herbs if using) in the bottom of a baking dish for the turkey breast to sit on.
- Rub the olive oil and butter all over the skin of the turkey breast, then season with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
- Pour the wine and chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish, then place the seasoned turkey breast on top of the vegetable rack.
- Roast the turkey in the oven for approximately 20 minutes per pound, depending on the size of your turkey breast. A 7 1/2 pound turkey breast will take between 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Check the temperature of the breast to make sure it’s at 165 degrees.
- Remove the turkey from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes, covered in foil.
- Carve both sides of the turkey breast of the bone, then slice into pieces and serve.
