Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1 3- to 6-pound turkey breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place turkey in roasting pan; brush with oil or butter, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place turkey in oven, and roast for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on size, basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes or so. Begin checking every few minutes with an instant-read thermometer; turkey is ready when the thermometer reads 155 degrees. Remove the turkey from the oven, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes (during which time its internal temperature will rise to about 160 degrees) before carving and serving.
