Ingredients
- 1 turkey breast 7-8 lb, whole, fresh or frozen, thawed
- 2 lemon plural
- 1 garlic whole head, cut in half crosswise, unpeeled
- 1 rosemary fresh sprig
- 1 thyme sprig, fresh
- sage a few leaves
- olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup water
- 1 onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Rinse the turkey breast with cold water. Pat dry.
- Liberally salt and pepper the inside cavity of the turkey.
- Cut the lemons in quarters and place two quarters in the cavity, along with the garlic. Add rosemary, thyme and sage to the inside of the turkey.
- Brush the turkey with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place the turkey in a large shallow roasting pan lined with aluminum foil (for easy clean-up).
- Add 1 cup water to bottom of pan.
- Place the reserved lemons and the sliced onion in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Pour the lemon and onion mixture around the turkey inside the pan.
- Roast the turkey breast for 2 – 2 ½ hours, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F. Baste with pan juices every 30 minutes.
- If any part of the turkey browns too quickly while cooking, just tent lightly with aluminum foil.
- Remove the turkey from the oven and place on a large cutting board. Tent the turkey with foil and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes before carving.
Notes
- If you're using a different size turkey breast, here is a good rule of thumb to follow for cooking time:
- Roast bone-in turkey breast in a 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes per pound.
