Ingredients

1 bone-in whole turkey breast (4 1/4 to 5 lb), thawed if frozen
1/2 cup apple juice or dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 325°F. On rack in large shallow roasting pan, place turkey breast, skin side up. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of breast and does not touch bone.
Roast uncovered 30 minutes.
In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Brush one-third of apple juice mixture over turkey.
Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes longer, brushing generously with apple juice mixture every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads at least 165°F. Cover with foil; let stand 15 minutes for easiest carving.
