Herbed Roasted Turkey Breast
Herbed Roasted Turkey Breast
1 whole turkey breast
Fresh herbs, chopped (sage, parsley, thyme)
Celery leaves, chopped
1 onion, sliced
Low sodium chicken broth
Olive oil
Black pepper
Clean the turkey breast under cold water and place in 9x13 pan sprayed with non-stick spray (or if you want really easy cleanup, line the pan with foil).
Stuff the herbs, celery leaves and onion slices under the skin of the turkey. (If you do now have the fresh herbs you can rub poultry seasoning under the skin, then stuff the celery leaves and onion under the skin).
Using a marinade injector, inject the turkey generously with the chicken broth.
Now sprinkle the top with black pepper and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
Bake at 325-350 degrees, uncovered. If the bird gets too brown you can cover it with foil. About halfway through cooking time for an extra moist turkey repeat the injection of the chicken broth. Cook until done.
Before serving remove all the skin from the turkey- then slice and serve.
This makes a really moist and flavorfull turkey. When I make it it always disappears quickly.
