Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Place a 3 to 8 pound turkey breast skin side up on the rack of a roasting pan, or into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.
- In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons paprika, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder to form a paste.
- Loosen the skin with your finger and spoon some of the spice mixture underneath the skin. Smooth it out to cover as much of the meat as possible.
- Rub the remaining spice mixture on top of the turkey breast skin.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes per pound, until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Measure the temperature in the center of the thickest part of the breast.
- Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Then slice and serve.
Notes
Cooking time depends on the size of your turkey breast. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Boneless turkey breasts will cook faster than bone-in. Don't skip the resting time - it allows temperature to reach 165°F and keeps turkey juicy.
