PASTURE RAISED TURKEY BREAST

Herb-Infused Roast Turkey Breast

Ingredients:

• 1 pasture-raised turkey breast (bone-in or boneless)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
• Zest of one lemon
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Prepare Turkey Breast:

• Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Place it in a roasting pan.

3. Create Herb Mix:

• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant herb mixture.

4. Coat Turkey Breast:

• Brush the herb mixture over the turkey breast, ensuring it is evenly coated. Make small incisions into the meat and rub the herb mixture into the incisions for enhanced flavor.

5. Roast in the Oven:

• Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Baste Occasionally:

• Baste the turkey breast with the pan juices every 30 minutes to infuse the flavors and maintain moisture.

7. Rest and Slice:

• Allow the turkey breast to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This ensures the juices redistribute, resulting in a succulent and tender slice.

Serve this herb-infused pasture-raised turkey breast with your favorite sides for an exquisite dining experience. The marriage of natural flavors and ethical farming practices is sure to make this dish a highlight of your table.
