Equipment
Ingredients
- 5-6 pound turkey breast on the bone thawed, innards removed, rinsed in cold water, and patted dry
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan, skin side up.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, mustard, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Rub the mixture evenly over all the skin of the turkey breast. You can also loosen the skin and smear half of the paste underneath, directly on the meat. Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Roast the turkey for 1 ½ to 1 ¾ hours, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Check the breast after an hour or so; if the skin is browning too much, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- When the turkey is done, remove it from the oven. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and allow the turkey to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the pan juices.
