Roasted Turkey Breast
10 ingredients
openrecipes
Turkey is very high in protein and low in both total fat and saturated fat. Roasting a turkey breast is much easier than roasting the whole bird. It also lets you cook the white meat perfectly, rather than have it dry out while waiting for the dark meat to finish cooking. The breast is easy to turn, allowing it to self-baste as it roasts. Always buy a fresh turkey breast to ensure the most succulent result. Roasted turkey breast is versatile, perfect for hot or cold slices or for sandwiches and salads.
