Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 turkey breast (about 3–4 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth or turkey stock

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried sage, salt, and pepper to form a paste.
  4. Rub the spice paste all over the turkey breast, making sure to coat it evenly.
  5. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
  6. Sear the turkey breast on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the turkey breast from the Dutch oven and set it aside.
  8. In the same Dutch oven, add the sliced onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  9. Place the turkey breast back into the Dutch oven on top of the vegetables.
  10. Pour the chicken broth or turkey stock into the Dutch oven, covering the bottom but not completely submerging the turkey breast.
  11. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  12. Roast the turkey breast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
  13. Once cooked, remove the turkey breast from the Dutch oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  14. Serve the sliced turkey breast with the roasted vegetables and pan juices.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey breast is cooked to the proper internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Letting the turkey breast rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful meat.
  • You can use the pan juices to make a simple gravy to serve alongside the turkey breast.
