Roast the Turkey
Place the marinated turkey breast on a roasting pan. If using, pour chicken broth (250 ml) into the bottom of the roasting pan to help keep the turkey moist.

Bake
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
