Quick cooking: Boneless turkey breasts roast in under 1 hour.
Meal-prep friendly: Perfect for sandwiches, salads, or dinner bowls.

Step by Step Instructions:

Pat your turkey breast dry with paper towels. If it’s in a net, remove it to season under the skin, then tie it back up with kitchen twine for an even roast.
Rub 1–2 tablespoons of green seasoning under the skin. Mix the rest with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Massage all over the turkey.
For maximum flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or overnight. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill off.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the seasoned turkey breast skin-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour ½ cup chicken or turkey stock into the pan (this keeps drippings from burning and adds moisture).
Roast at 425°F for 12 minutes, this high heat helps crisp and brown the skin.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting for about 45–50 minutes (roughly 14–16 minutes per pound for a 3.5-lb breast).
Begin checking the internal temperature at the 45-minute mark. When the thickest part of the breast reaches 160°F (71°C), remove it from the oven.
Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 15–20 minutes. The temperature will rise to 165°F (74°C) while resting, locking in all the juices.

Want to Make a Full Turkey Instead?

If you’re cooking for a bigger crowd, this same rosemary-and-green-seasoning blend works beautifully on a whole turkey too. The method is almost identical, you just scale up the seasoning and adjust the roasting time.

How to Scale the Recipe

For every 1 pound of turkey, use:

1 tsp green seasoning
½ tsp olive oil or melted butter
¼ tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
A small pinch of salt & pepper

That means for a 12–14 lb whole turkey, you’ll need:

½ to ¾ cup green seasoning
¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
2 Tbsp fresh rosemary
6–8 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp kosher salt + 1 tsp pepper

Rub half of the mixture under the skin (especially over the breasts and thighs) and the rest all over the outside. This ensures deep flavor and juicy meat all around.

Turkey Weight	Approx. Cooking Time	Internal Temp
10–12 lb	2¾–3 hours	165°F
12–14 lb	3–3¾ hours	165°F
14–16 lb	3¾–4¼ hours	165°F
16–18 lb	4¼–4¾ hours	165°F

Pro Tip: Start at 425°F for the first 20 minutes for golden skin, then drop to 325°F to cook gently and evenly.

Flavor Boosters for a Whole Bird

Stuff the cavity with half a lemon, a head of garlic (halved), and a few rosemary sprigs.
Add 1–2 cups of stock or even white wine to the roasting pan for fragrant drippings.
Brush with butter halfway through roasting for a glossy, magazine-style finish.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this juicy turkey breast with:

Garlic mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes
Cranberry relish or honey-roasted carrots
Simple gravy made from pan drippings and a splash of white wine

Hosting tip: Add fresh rosemary sprigs and lemon wedges around the platter for a restaurant-style presentation.

Pro Tips for Success

Use a meat thermometer, it’s the key to never overcooking turkey.
Start roasting at 425°F for 10 minutes for crispy skin, then lower to 350°F to finish.
Brush with melted butter halfway through for a golden sheen.
Let it rest covered in foil before slicing because that’s where the magic happens.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Reheat slices gently in a covered dish with a splash of stock or water to keep them moist.
Freeze up to 3 months. It’s perfect for a quick meal prep.

Final Thoughts
