Ingredients
- 3 pounds Turkey breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, ground black pepper, paprika, and onion powder to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the turkey breast in a shallow baking dish and rub the marinade all over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 4
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish around the turkey.
Step 5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil, which will help keep the turkey moist.
Step 6
Place the turkey in the preheated oven and bake for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 7
Around 15 minutes before the turkey is done, remove the foil to let the turkey brown nicely on top.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices are redistributed.
Step 9
Serve the turkey slices warm, accompanied by your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
