Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the turkey breast cooks evenly.
- 2
Prepare the Turkey
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the skin to crisp up during roasting.
- 3
Make the Rub
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
- 4
Season the Turkey
Rub the marinade all over the turkey breast, making sure to get it under the skin for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- 5
Roast the Turkey
Place the seasoned turkey breast on a roasting rack in a baking dish. Insert into the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 6
Baste the Turkey
Every 30 minutes, baste the turkey breast with the juices that accumulate in the bottom of the baking dish to keep it moist.
- 7
Rest the Turkey
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Carve and Serve
Carefully carve the turkey breast and serve with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
