Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 medium Carrots (sliced)
- 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
- 12 ounces Baby potatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Lemon (zest and juice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form an herb rub.
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the turkey breast, ensuring full coverage.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the turkey breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add carrots, celery, baby potatoes, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom.
Nestle the turkey breast back into the skillet on top of the vegetables.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the turkey is roasting, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the lemon zest and juice to create a bright citrus glaze.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 5-10 minutes. Brush the lemon glaze over the turkey for added flavor.
Slice the turkey and serve alongside the roasted vegetables, spooning any skillet juices over the top.
