Ingredients

1 6 lb turkey breast preferably brined
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sage ground
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, add the spices and the avocado oil. Mix well with a spoon into a thick paste.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the baking rack in the baking sheet. Pour the stock onto the parchment paper.
Lay the turkey with the skin side up on the rack. Ensure that the turkey breast has been patted dry with paper towels. This is an important step to ensure crispy, delicious skin.
Rub the spice paste all over the turkey breast skin.

Cooking Steps

Place the turkey breast in the oven on a middle rack. Allow the turkey to roast at 425°F for 5-7 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (180°C).
Continue to cook the turkey breast for about an hour, checking the temperature of the thickest part of the breast with the instant read thermometer. When the temperature reads 160°F, it is time to remove from the oven.
Once the roasted turkey breast has been removed from the oven, you can tent it with foil or just let it rest on the rack. It needs to rest for 15 minutes to ensure that it will be cooked through. This is called carryover cooking and results in a tender and juicy oven roasted turkey breast.
Check the temperature of the thickest part of the turkey breast with an instant read thermometer. When it reads 165°F, it’s time to slice and serve.

Notes

PLEASE NOTE: This recipe uses a BRINED TURKEY BREAST. If you have not brined the breast, you will need to add 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt to the spice rub.
