Oven Roasted Bone In Turkey Breast is tender, juicy without the brine, has crispy skin and so easy to make! It is the perfect whole bird alternative for smaller Thanksgiving gatherings.
Preheat oven to 375°F and place a rack in a large rimmed baking sheet. You can also use a roasting pan. In a small bowl, add melted butter, garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Using hands or brush, rub turkey breast with seasoned butter all around. Make sure to rub the meat part, in the crevices and under the skin whenever possible.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature in the deepest part of meat reaches 150 – 155° F when checked with thermometer. Actual time will depend on the size of your turkey breast.
Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. This is when turkey breast will reach 165°F. Then, slice against the grain using a sharp knife and serve.
