Ingredients

  • 4 lb. turkey breast bone out
  • 1/3 unsalted butter very soft (microwave for 10 seconds)
  • 3 tbsps. turkey breast rub
  • 2 tbsps. oregano chopped
  • 4-6 cloves garlic large, minced
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary crushed, dry
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp. salt OPTIONAL, taste butter mixture first before adding)
  • Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil

Other

  • 1 large carrot peeled and sliced
  • 6 large garlic cloves keep whole
  • 1 small onion peeled and cubed
  • fresh herbs I used oregano

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F°.
  • Debone the turkey breast and trim from all excess fats.
  • In a small bowl, add in the soften butter, spices and herbs. Mix well to form a paste. Save 2 tbsps. of the paste on the side.
  • Lift up the skin of the breast without removing it completely. Spread half the butter mixture onto the breast, then cover and top the other half over the skin.
  • Line a baking dish with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil for easy cleanup.
  • Add in the onions, oregano and carrots, then lay the breast on top. You can secure the skin with some toothpicks to keep it in place.
  • Bake the turkey breast for 20 minutes uncovered. Then reduce the heat to 350 and cook the breast for another 30 minutes, uncovered.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the oven, add in some whole garlic cloves and cover with Reynolds® Wrap Heavy Duty Foil to cook another 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey is 165 degrees F. Use a digital cooking thermometer to check the thickest part of the breast.
  • Once the time is up, remove from the oven, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing through it. You can use the drippings and veggies from underneath the turkey breast to make into gravy. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans, or other veggies of your choice.
