Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the turkey breast in a large baking dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.

Step 5
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the turkey is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the turkey rest for about 5 minutes.
