Ingredients
- 4 pounds Turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Step 4
Place the turkey breast in a large baking dish. Use your hands to rub the marinade thoroughly over the turkey, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 5
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish. This will help keep the turkey moist as it cooks.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top from drying out and place it in the preheated oven.
Step 7
Bake the turkey for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove the foil to allow the surface to brown slightly.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist.
Step 10
Carve and serve the turkey breast hot with your choice of healthy sides.
