Roasted Turkey Breast

Ingredients

• 1 bone-in turkey breast (5 to 6 pounds)
• 5 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 to 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 medium onion, cut into wedges
• 1 celery rib, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Bring the protein to room temperature 20 to 30 minutes before cooking for even doneness.

2. 2

   Pat the protein dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices listed in the ingredients.

3. 3

   Heat an oven-safe skillet or roasting pan with a thin layer of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the protein on all sides until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches the safe target — 145°F for pork loin and beef tenderloin (medium-rare), 165°F for turkey, 145°F for salmon and halibut.

5. 5

   Brush with any glaze or sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking for flavor and shine.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and let the protein rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This locks in the juices.

7. 7

   Serve with your preferred sides.
