1 Video | Photo: Roasted Turkey Breast with Spicy Herb Oil Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (13-pound) frozen turkey, thawed
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the legs, thighs, and wings from the turkey (reserve for Round Two Recipe).
In a bowl, stir together the oil, rosemary, sage, thyme, garlic powder, chile powder, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Drizzle a spoonful of the herb oil under the skin of the turkey and rub into the breast. Spoon the remaining herb oil on the outside of the turkey breast and rub into the skin.
Pour the broth into the bottom of the roasting pan fitted with a rack. Place the turkey breast onto the rack and roast in the oven for 55 to 60 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F and cook until the skin is browned and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving so the temperature rises to 180 degrees F.

This was the best turkey breast I have ever prepared. I did modify the recipe. I used a cup of butter instead of canola oil. I added three large cloves of chopped garlic, which I mashed into the butter and let rest for the flavours to blend. Then I added the herbs. Because I used a cup of butter, I was more generous with the herbs. I added a tablespoon where the recipe called for a teaspoon except for the red peppers and chili powder. I only added 1/4 teaspoon more chili powder and kept the pepper flakes to a minimum. I slathered the butter all over the turkey breast, and covered it in cheesecloth. The remaining butter I melted, and added to the top of the cheesecloth. During the roasting time, added chicken broth, which I used to baste the turkey. I removed the cheesecloth to brown the breast during the final half hour. This turkey was so juicy and flavourful. My family loved it. This will be my standard recipe from now on.

This turkey was moist and flavorful. Excellent left overs. It will be on the table again.

mmmm. I used half melted butter and half canola oil. I typically do not eat turkey - because of the way it is prepared, it is usually tasteless. then this morning, while I was watching this episode I had recorded, it looked delish. Went to store, and cooked both this and the ham. it was a hit. Very flavorful.
