3 delicious holiday recipes for the whole family

Roast turkey with herbs

Makes 6 servings | Prep: 15 min | Cook: 120 min

Ingredients

• ½ bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (about 3 - 4 pounds)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 2 Tbsp assorted fresh herbs (such as sage, thyme, rosemary, parsley), minced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and chopped herbs. Rub turkey breast with olive oil-herb mixture over and under the skin. Add 1 cup water to the pan and roast for 1¾ to – 2 hours, until skin is golden and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F in the thickest areas of the breast (test in several places). If the skin is browning too fast, cover with foil as it continues to cook. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
