Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the turkey breast on a roasting pan. Using your hands, rub the marinade mixture evenly over the entire surface of the turkey breast.
Let the turkey marinate for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place them on top of the turkey breast.
Pour the chicken broth into the roasting pan around the turkey to keep it moist while baking.
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Baste the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring luscious, juicy turkey slices.
Serve the turkey slices with the remaining pan juices or as it is for a complete keto-friendly meal.
