Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
5-pound turkey breast (bone-in), rinsed and well dried
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fit a small roasting pan with a V-shaped rack. Drizzle oil over turkey breast, and season with salt and pepper. Center turkey breast on rack. Transfer to oven, and roast until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the breast, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
