Detailed instructions
FAQsTo what temperature should a turkey breast be cooked to? If you use a meat thermometer, stick it in the thickest part of the turkey breast and it should register 160 degrees F right after taking it out of the oven. As you let it rest on the counter, the temperature of the meat will even out and the internal temperature should rise by another 5-10 degrees. You can cover it with foil to help retain the heat. Should a turkey breast be cooked covered or uncovered? Cooking your turkey breast covered enables it to cook uniformly and keeps it moist, but it also means the skin doesn’t get a chance to crisp. In this recipe and for my particular oven, I don’t find the need to cover the turkey. But if you do, my hack would be to cook until the turkey breast is almost done, then remove the foil for the last 30 minutes. How can I use leftover roasted turkey breast? My current favorite use of leftover turkey is making these ultimate turkey avocado sandwiches the next day. I use sourdough bread, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, and of course, avocado. A creamy dressing for leftover turkey is a must since it can dry up a bit in the fridge. Try something like a drizzle of my jalapeno ranch dressing on top. Why I wrote this recipePeople can get really overwhelmed when it comes to cooking turkey in the oven so I wanted to make it really simple and straightforward in a beginners style recipe. No dry turkey here! Just juicy turkey breast that goes from oven to table with a beautiful presentation. Sure it’s Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas dinner approved, but this recipe is simple enough to make for a weekend dinner for the family or guests. I love that it comes with a built-in side dish of root vegetables (roasted carrots and onions) and love the flavor when the back of my fork squeezes the juice out of the wedges of lemon and onto my plate. The whole roasted garlic soaking in butter at the bottom of the pan gives it massive flavor, too. I think you’ll enjoy it very much. Side dish ideas
