Oven Roasted Turkey Breast is a simple and delicious recipe that is perfect for serving smaller groups for the holidays or a weekend meal. The meat turns out tender and juicy and is a great alternative to cooking a whole turkey. With the holiday season in full swing, this is a perfect recipe to have on your holiday table. It is a great dish that will go well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even as a regular dinner meal. For other holiday-inspired turkey dishes, I highly recommend you try two of my most popular recipes: Cranberry Orange Turkey Breast and Turkey Tetrazzini Recipe.
Easy Oven Roasted Turkey Breast RecipeOven Roasted Turkey Breast is probably one of the easiest dishes you can prepare during the holiday season. To prepare the turkey breast, simply rub the turkey from top to bottom with the olive oil, honey, orange juice and zest, some garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper and brown sugar. From there, place it in your roasting pan and put it in the oven. Once cooked, slice it up and serve with your favorite side dishes. Similarly, a great alternative would be to slice it up and use the breast meat in a sandwich. The brown sugar and orange is a perfect combo mix and makes the turkey breast aromatic and very flavorful. Also, it gives the breast the perfect holiday look, which is guaranteed to be a hit with everyone, especially on the Thanksgiving table. We have used skinless breasts in this recipe, but the skin on will perfectly work as well. The turkey breast is served with the most amazing Honey Orange Glaze, which is a great alternative to gravy.
