Crispy skin and juicy white turkey meat will be the star of your next feast. Flavorful, juicy, succulent, tender, moist, fork-tender are all words I’ve heard my friends and family use when describing my
Oven Roasted Turkey Breast recipe. I cooked my first turkey breast over a decade ago and have learned so much over the years. I know many people who fear cooking a turkey. I remind them all–it’s very similar to all the other meats you might cook. The biggest fear I often hear is that the turkey will be dry, and lack flavor. After years of experimenting and testing I have found that in order to not have a dry or flavorless turkey breast you must
brine your turkey. That is the key to having a juicy roasted turkey breast. How many minutes per pound should you cook a turkey breast? For a bone-in turkey breast, I calculate 20 minutes per pound. This of course will vary depending on if your turkey breast is stuffed or unstuffed with stuffing or dressing. Make sure the thickest part of the bird and/or the internal temperature of the stuffing (if stuffed in the cavity) reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Do you cook a turkey breast at 325 or 350? I have a convection oven that automatically places my oven down
by 25 degrees Fahrenheit. I set my oven to 350 degrees (which it then cooks at 325 degrees Fahrenheit). Is it better to roast a turkey covered or uncovered? I always roast my turkey breast uncovered. If I notice the turkey breast is getting too dark too soon I will tent the turkey with foil to prevent burning of the skin. Do you put water in the bottom of the roasting pan? Some will argue that if you put water in the bottom of a roasting pan it defeats the purpose of roasting. However, I always put water in my roasting pan when baking a turkey. This allows me to not have to baste the turkey and provides me with delicious drippings that yields the very best homemade turkey gravy. How do you keep a turkey moist when cooking? To ensure your turkey is moist I always brine my turkey breast. By letting the turkey sit in a brine the turkey breast will retain moisture.
