Preheat oven to 400℉.

Place onion, garlic and lemon in a casserole dish or roasting pan large enough for your turkey breast.

Add the chicken broth to the dish.

Pat the turkey breast dry with kitchen paper towel and place in the casserole dish.

Use a spoon or your fingers to pull the turkey skin away from the flesh.

Insert the butter in between the turkey skin and flesh.

Rub the Poultry Seasoning all over the turkey breast, then drizzle with olive oil.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, until an inserted meat thermometer reads 160℉.

Allow the turkey breast to rest for 10 minutes. It will increase in temperature by the remaining 5℉, so that it's 165℉.

Slice and serve.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Dry Brine for Superior Moisture 🧂
Salt the turkey breast 12-24 hours before cooking to allow salt to penetrate the meat, breaking down proteins for exceptional juiciness and flavor absorption throughout the roast.
Low and Slow Temperature Control 🔥
Roast at 275-300°F rather than high heat to ensure even, gentle cooking that prevents the outer layers from drying before the interior reaches proper temperature.
Butter Basting for Golden Richness 🧈
Baste the turkey breast every 20-30 minutes with herb-infused melted butter to create a golden, flavorful crust while keeping the meat incredibly moist from the inside out.
Critical Resting Period 🛑
Rest the finished turkey breast for 10-15 minutes tented loosely with foil to allow carryover cooking and redistribute juices, resulting in perfectly tender slices that won't leak.
Precision Thermometer Placement 🌡️
Insert your meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast without touching bone; turkey breast reaches safe doneness at 165°F but achieves optimal juiciness at 160-162°F.
