Ingredients
-
1 whole bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (5 to 7 pounds)
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
-
2 teaspoons dry mustard
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
-
1 cup dry white wine (or substitute chicken/turkey stock)
Instructions
Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Position a rack in a roasting pan and place the pan in the oven to preheat with it.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, dry mustard, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix into a thick paste.
Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Carefully loosen the skin from the meat using your fingers and rub some of the seasoning paste directly onto the meat under the skin. Rub the rest all over the outside of the turkey breast.
Set the seasoned turkey breast skin-side up on a rack in the roasting pan. Pour the white wine into the bottom of the pan.
Roast uncovered for 1¾ to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast. Baste with pan juices every 30 minutes for extra flavor.
Remove the turkey from the oven and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice across the grain into thick, juicy slices and serve warm with pan juices or gravy.
