1 bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (5-6 lb)
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 lemon, zested and halved
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup gluten-free chicken broth Shop

Instructions

1 Pat the turkey breast dry. If you have time, season it with the salt the night before and refrigerate uncovered for crisper skin.
2 Heat the oven to 375F (190C). Stir together the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, pepper, and any salt you did not use the night before.
3 Loosen the skin over the breast with your fingers and rub about half the herb paste directly on the meat. Rub the rest over the skin.
4 Set the breast skin side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Add the broth and lemon halves to the pan.
5 Roast until the thickest part of the breast reads 160F (71C), 75 to 95 minutes. If the skin browns too fast, tent with foil.
6 Rest 20 minutes before slicing - the temperature will climb to 165F (74C). Spoon the pan juices over the slices or save them for gravy.
