Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Boneless, skinless turkey breast
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 0.5 cup Chicken broth

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Roasting pan or oven-safe dish
  • Small bowl
  • Paper towels
  • Meat thermometer
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a seasoning rub.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over the turkey breast.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned turkey breast in a roasting pan or oven-safe dish and pour the chicken broth around the base.
  2. Roast for 60-75 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached, basting occasionally with pan juices.
  3. Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the seasoning rub or pan. Resting the turkey is crucial for juicy results, as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
