Roasting turkey is very easy and delicious!
All you do is rub the turkey with the herbs, pop it in the oven and dinner is ready in about an hour. I like to roast a whole turkey breast for dinner and use the leftovers for sandwiches and snacks all week. This is a healthier, better tasting and more economical alternative than going to the deli.
1 (6 lb.) bone in turkey breast, skin removed
2 Tbs. olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh sage
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375. Rinse the turkey breast and pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper and rub over the turkey breast. Transfer the turkey breast to a roasting pan and roast until the juices run clear when cut and a thermometer registers 165 (about 1 to 1 1/4 hours). Let rest, covered with aluminum foil, for 10 minutes before carving.
**Chefs note: if you can’t buy fresh herbs, you can substitute dried instead. Just use half of what you’d use fresh.
