Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Turkey breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, ground black pepper, paprika, and onion powder to form a marinade.
Place the turkey breast in a shallow baking dish and rub the marinade all over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish around the turkey.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil, which will help keep the turkey moist.
Place the turkey in the preheated oven and bake for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Around 15 minutes before the turkey is done, remove the foil to let the turkey brown nicely on top.
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices are redistributed.
Serve the turkey slices warm, accompanied by your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
