Easy Unstuffed Turkey
Ingredients:
– 3 lbs boneless, skinless turkey breast
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 lemon, sliced
– 1 onion, sliced
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.
3. Place the turkey breast on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey, making sure to coat it evenly.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey breast on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
6. In the same skillet, add the lemon slices, onion slices, and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
7. Place the seared turkey breast back in the skillet on top of the lemon and onion mixture.
8. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the turkey.
9. Cover the skillet with foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast the turkey for about 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
10. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
11. Slice the turkey into thick pieces and serve with the lemon and onion mixture from the skillet.
