Roast turkey breast is seasoned and cooked with onion, herbs, and broth until tender and juicy!
What Kind of Turkey Breast to Buy
You can roast either bone-in or boneless turkey breasts. I often buy a turkey breast wrapped in a net (photo above), but they do come without a net as well and can be tied with kitchen twine (photo below). Buy a 2.5 to 3.5-pound boneless turkey breast or a 4 to 5-pound bone-in turkey breast for this recipe. Seasonings: I love fresh herbs when possible—check the produce area for a pre-packaged fresh poultry herb mixture if you’d like. You can also skip the fresh herbs and used dried or try my turkey seasoning blend.
Variations
Besides onions, roast the turkey breast with sliced mushrooms, carrots, baby red potatoes, or cubes of butternut squash. The veggies will soak up all that flavorful broth and provide a bonus side dish. How Much Turkey Per Person Allow for ½ pound of boneless turkey breast per person. Make extra for larger appetites or leftovers.

Cooking Times & Tips
Allow enough time for thawing; it can take up to 2 days for a 3 lb turkey breast. Check the temperature early so it doesn’t overcook—the size and shape of the turkey breast can affect cooking time. Remove the turkey breast from the oven at 160°F; it will continue to rise to 165°F as it rests. Use those tasty turkey drippings to make gravy, and add extra storebought broth if needed.
Roast a turkey breast for 30-35 minutes per pound. Refer to the chart below: Did your family love this Roast Turkey Breast recipe? Leave a comment and a rating below! © SpendWithPennies.com.
