Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the onion soup mix, garlic powder, celery salt, thyme, and basil.

Step 2

Place thawed turkey breast in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

Step 3

Rub dry seasoning mixture onto surface of turkey evenly.

Step 4

Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 5

Bake at 350 degrees for anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours (or more) depending on the size of your turkey - consult the instructions on your turkey for specifics, but usually 15 - 20 minutes per pound.

Step 6

About 45 minutes into cooking, pour another cup of chicken broth over the top of the turkey.

Step 7

Repeat again after another 45 minutes of cooking, using the remaining cup of chicken broth.

Step 8

Baste the turkey every 45 minutes thereafter, until turkey is done and registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer place deep into the breast meat.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and cover the turkey with foil.

Step 10

Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. I like to slice the turkey and then allow the slices to sit in the bottom of the pan soaking up all the juices until everyone's ready to eat.
