THE BEST TURKEY BREAST image

Categories     turkey     Roast     Christmas     Easter     Thanksgiving     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 2-kg (4-lb) boneless turkey breast with skin
1 tbsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal is my choice)
ΒΌ cup softened butter
2 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp mild or hot smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Wash turkey breast and pat dry. Sprinkle salt all over breast and under the skin if possible. Let it sit for 6 hours or overnight, covered and refrigerated. Rinse salt off well, then rinse again and pat dry. Let sit at room temperature for one hour. Preheat oven to 450 F. Combine butter, garlic, sugar and paprika. Brush over breast and spread some under the skin. Place breast in a shallow roasting pan. Roast for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 F. Roast a further 45 minutes to 1 hour or until juices are clear, basting occasionally. Timing will vary depending on the thickness of the breast. The meat should be at 160 F on a meat thermometer. It will rise another 5 degrees as it sits. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I made a turkey sandwich with the leftovers and it was delicious.

This recipe is a game-changer! I've always struggled to make turkey breast that wasn't dry and bland, but this recipe changed everything. The turkey was so moist and flavorful, and the gravy was to die for. I'll never go back to my old turkey breast

I was skeptical about making turkey breast in the oven, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The turkey was cooked to perfection and the gravy was amazing. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.

I've tried many turkey breast recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The brine made all the difference - the turkey was so juicy and tender. I will never make turkey breast any other way again.
