How To Cook Boneless Turkey Breast
1. Prepare turkey breast: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C), then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a baking rack on top. Brush the turkey breasts with melted butter and evenly coat them with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Roast turkey breast: Arrange the turkey breasts on the prepared roasting pan and roast them for 20 minutes. Then, tent the turkey breast by covering it with foil. To do that, leave about an inch of space between the meat and the foil and crimp it shut along the sides of the pan. Continue roasting the tented turkey breasts for another 30-35 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) at the thickest part.
3. Serve: Take the oven roasted turkey breast out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve your roasted turkey breast sliced with your choice of sides, and enjoy!
My Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- Rest your turkey breast for at least 15 minutes after baking to help lock in all the juiciness and keep it tender and succulent after slicing.
- Reserve any leftover pan juices for drizzling over the turkey or to make a flavorful turkey gravy.
- If you're making them skin-on, place the turkey skin side up and broil for a minute or two at the end of roasting for golden crispy skin.
- Before storing leftovers, slice your boneless turkey breast roast for quick and easy storing and to ensure your turkey stays moist and juicy after reheating.
How I Recommend Storing Cooked Boneless Turkey Breast
In the fridge: Transfer the boneless turkey roast slices to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days.
In the freezer: Transfer the turkey breast slices to a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer-safe bag with the extra air squeezed out. They'll stay good in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Reheating: Arrange the turkey breast slices in a baking pan with a splash of stock and a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 30-35 minutes or until fully warmed through. If you're starting from frozen turkey breast, make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight first.
FAQs About This Boneless Turkey Breast Recipe
Do you cook a boneless turkey breast at 325 or 350?
The cooking temperature for your boneless turkey breast depends on what you want to achieve. Baking at 350°F is faster and results in better browning on the exterior, while 325°F takes longer, but you'll end up with juicier meat. You can also combine the two temperatures, starting at 350°F to brown the meat, then finishing it at 325°F.
Should I buy boneless or bone-in turkey breast?
It depends on your needs. Boneless turkey breasts cook faster, while bone-in turkey breasts take longer to cook but are a bit more juicy and flavorful.
How do you cook a turkey breast so it doesn't dry out?
Adding a flavorful liquid like gravy, stock, or white wine, as well as some fat like butter or olive oil, will help keep your turkey breast tender and moist as it cooks in the oven or stove. You can also retain all that moisture by tenting the turkey breast with foil as it cooks to steam it.
