Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (6 pound) bone-in turkey breast
½ cup salted butter, melted
½ cup dry white wine
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground paprika
1 ½ cups chicken broth, or to taste
4 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place turkey breast, skin side-up, on a rack in a large, shallow roasting pan. Insert an ovenproof meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast, being certain that the tip does not touch the bone.
  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, mix melted butter, wine, garlic, rosemary, basil, parsley, thyme, olive oil, salt, and paprika together in a bowl. Brush 1/2 of the mixture over the turkey and roast for 30 minutes. Brush remaining butter mixture over turkey, and roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove turkey from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a 2-cup liquid measure. Skim fat from the surface, then add enough chicken broth to measure 2 cups liquid. Transfer to a small saucepan.
  • Bring broth mixture to a boil. Stir cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; pour into the broth mixture and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until gravy thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve gravy with turkey.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of turkey breast: Not all turkey breasts are created equal. Look for a bone-in, skin-on turkey breast that weighs between 6 and 8 pounds. This size will feed 6-8 people comfortably.
  • Season the turkey breast well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to flavor the turkey throughout.
  • Cook the turkey breast to the proper internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the turkey breast is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the turkey is safe to eat and that it is cooked through.
  • Let the turkey breast rest before carving: Once the turkey breast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, resulting in a more moist and flavorful bird.
  • Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides: There are many delicious sides that you can serve with turkey breast, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce.

Conclusion:

Savory turkey breast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey breast turns out perfect every time.
