Roasted Turkey Breast with Garlic Herb Butter is a delightful dish that combines aroma, freshness, and tenderness. Through slow roasting, the turkey meat fully absorbs the fragrance of garlic and herbs, complemented by the rich butter, resulting in a mouthful of happiness. With its slightly crispy exterior and juicy, tender interior, it shines as a highlight dish for family gatherings or holiday celebrations.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

  • One turkey breast (about 1.5 kg)

  • Several cloves of garlic (adjust according to taste)

  • Fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, etc.) as needed

  • 100g unsalted butter

  • Salt, black pepper to taste

  • A little olive oil

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Take the turkey breast out of the fridge in advance to let it reach room temperature. Finely chop the garlic and herbs.

  2. In a bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic, herb fragments, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form a garlic herb butter sauce.

  3. Use a fork to poke holes on the surface of the turkey breast for better seasoning absorption. Evenly spread the garlic herb butter sauce over the turkey breast and gently massage it in.

  4. Wrap the seasoned turkey breast tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the ends, and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 1.5 hours until cooked through.

  5. Remove the turkey breast, uncover, brush a thin layer of olive oil on the surface, and return it to the oven set to 200°C for 5-10 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

  6. Slice and serve with vegetables or sides.

👉🏻✨TIPS

  • Adjust the roasting time according to the size and thickness of the turkey breast.
