Oven Roasted Bone in Turkey Breast Recipe

Start with the brine

1. Heat 1 quart of the water to boiling then add ¼ cup of table salt, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of whole peppercorns, and a peeled and quartered onion.
2. Once the salt and sugar have dissolved, remove the brine from the heat and add the remaining 2 quarts of cold water.
3. Once the brine is cool, add the turkey breast and refrigerate for 12 hours.

To cook

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC (FAN- 320ºF/160ºC).
2. Remove the turkey from the brine and pat dry with kitchen paper towel.
3. Drizzle the turkey breast with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the turkey in a roasting tin.
4. Cover the turkey with foil and roast for 70 minutes (see note 3).
5. Remove the foil and roast the turkey for a further 68 minutes (see note 3)
6. Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to rest in a warm place for 15 mins. You can tent it with foil, but the skin will stop being crisp.
