Tips for making the best oven roasted turkey.

To make this recipe properly you will need to use a dutch oven rather than something else. Also, your dutch oven should be large enough to comfortably fit a turkey breast along with the vegetables. This allows for even cooking and ensures that the turkey cooks through to perfection.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Drying the turkey skin with paper towels before seasoning helps achieve a crispy and golden-brown exterior during roasting.
2. Using a bone-in turkey breast can yield even better flavor and moisture.
3. While you can use a previously frozen turkey to make this recipe, your turkey breast should be defrosted properly before making this dish.
4. Use a baster to baste your turkey once (more than once can affect the skin's ability to get crisp) while baking can also make your turkey more moist.
5. Spoon the flavorful pan juices (skimming off the fat) over the turkey chicken before serving. This adds extra moisture and intensifies the overall flavor.
6. Allow the roasted turkey breast to rest before slicing. This resting period lets the juices redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender meat.

How to make Dutch Oven Roasted Turkey Breast

Prep Time: 15 minutes .
Bake Time: 1.5 to 2 hours .
Servings: 4-6, depending on how it is sliced.

1. Prepare. Preheat your oven to 375 and prepare your defrosted turkey as indicated. This means patting the skin dry using paper towels.
2. Season. Rub the oil over the turkey breast and then generously season the turkey. I like to wear food prep gloves to do this.
3. Layer Ingredients. Place your turkey breast into your dutch oven with the skin side up. Then top the turkey breast with the carrots and celery.
4. Bake. Cover the dutch oven and then place it into the center of your oven. Roast for 1.5 to two hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. You can insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the breast to check the internal temperature.
5. Serve. Carefully remove the turkey breast from your oven and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Expert Tip 👉 For a crispier skin, remove the lid during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Also, serve your turkey breast with this Easy Pan Gravy for Turkey.
