• 2–3 lb boneless turkey breast

• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

   • 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the turkey:

   • Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels.

   • Rub olive oil or melted butter over the entire surface.

   • Mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme/rosemary, salt, and pepper.

   • Rub the seasoning evenly over the turkey.

3. Roast:

   • Place turkey breast on a roasting pan or baking dish.

   • Optional: pour chicken broth into the pan to keep it moist.

   • Roast 1–1.5 hours, depending on size, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Rest:

   • Remove turkey from oven and cover loosely with foil.

   • Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

5. Serve:

   • Slice and serve with your favorite sides—mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or cranberry sauce.

💡 Tips:

• Brining the turkey breast for 2–4 hours before cooking can make it extra juicy.

• For extra flavor, add garlic cloves and fresh herbs under the skin before roasting.

• Leftovers are perfect for sandwiches, salads, or soups.
