A flavorful and juicy turkey breast recipe with a delightful herb crust, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, mixed herbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a fragrant herb mixture.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Gently loosen the skin from the turkey breast without removing it completely.
Be careful not to tear the skin as it helps retain moisture.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the turkey meat under the skin.
Use your hands or a spoon to distribute the mixture evenly.
Replace the skin over the herbs and brush the skin with vegetable oil.
Brushing with oil helps achieve a crispy skin.
Place the turkey breast in a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), approximately 1 hour.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked to perfection.
Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier.
