Our Best Ideas for Turkey Breast

Cooking an entire turkey can be time consuming and intimidating, especially for beginners. That’s why we love the reliable turkey breast. It’s an easy way to serve up a dinner party-worthy main—without the guesswork of roasting a whole bird. These recipes are easy to manage, approachable and packed with so much flavor that you’ll want to make them all, starting with this classic take. Mustard, garlic, lemon juice and herbs combine to make a savory paste that coats the breast, filling it with rich and complex flavors while it cooks. Serve with stuffing, potatoes and cranberries when you're looking to host a traditional Thanksgiving dinner or holiday meal.
