Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (4 to 5 pound) bone-in turkey breast, skin on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
- Rub the turkey breast all over with olive oil, then evenly coat with the seasoning mixture.
- Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up.
- Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist during roasting.
- Roast the turkey breast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Baste the turkey occasionally with pan juices to keep it moist.

Notes
Resting the turkey breast after roasting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender meat. Using a meat thermometer is recommended for perfect doneness.
