Scale

Ingredients

  • 77 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the carrots and onions (and fresh herbs if using) in the bottom of a baking dish for the turkey breast to sit on.
  3. Rub the olive oil and butter all over the skin of the turkey breast, then season with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the turkey from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes, covered in foil.
  7. Carve both sides of the turkey breast of the bone, then slice into pieces and serve.
