Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the turkey breast, making sure to get it under the skin as well.

3. 3. Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan or baking dish. Roast for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4. 4. Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, you can broil the turkey for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Baste the turkey occasionally with the pan juices during roasting. Serve with your favorite holiday sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, and roasted vegetables.
