Roast Turkey Breast

This method results in a moist, juicy breast with a golden brown exterior.

Ingredients:

  • Turkey Breast
  • Butter (margarine may be substituted)
  • Freshly ground pepper, if desired

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 or 350 degrees. Rub turkey breast with softened butter or oil. Sprinkle with pepper, if desired. Roast skin side up, in an uncovered pan for 20-22 minutes per pound, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices. The turkey breast is done when a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees. (If the turkey breast has a pop up timer, use it as a guide.) A meat thermometer is the best guide to doneness.

Let the turkey breast sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
