Ina Garten Turkey Breast Recipe
The Ina Garten Turkey Breast Recipe is a classic. It is perfect for a small holiday dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 whole bone-in turkey breast 6.5 pounds.
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic.
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard.
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary.
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage.
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme.
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil.
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- 1 cup dry white wine.
Instructions
Heat the Oven
- Set your oven to 325 degrees. This low heat keeps the meat juicy.
Prepare the Herb Rub
- Mix garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add olive oil and lemon juice. Stir until paste.
Season the Turkey
- Place the turkey in the roasting pan. Rub the paste under the skin.
Add the Wine
- Pour the white wine into the pan. This keeps the turkey moist.
Roast the Bird
- Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Check the internal temperature often.
Rest the Meat
- Cover the turkey with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes. This keeps the juices inside.
Notes
- Always use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Do not overcook the turkey breast.
- Let the meat rest before you slice it.
- Use fresh herbs for the best scent.
- Smear the butter rub under the skin.
- This makes the skin very crispy.
