Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a roasting pan or the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with 1 tbsp butter. To the skillet, add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, give the ingredients a toss to coat them with seasonings, and add lemon wedges on top. Set aside.
Pat bone in turkey breast dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning blend. Add turkey on top of the vegetables in the skillet. Add cubes of butter on top of vegetables (around the turkey) and top the turkey and vegetables with rosemary. If you’re meal prepping turkey breast in advance, set the turkey in the refrigerator at this time and take it out about 20 minutes before it’s time to roast it.
Roast bone in turkey breast in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes a pound, until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F as measured by a meat thermometer. The turkey skin should be golden brown. My turkey in the Sip Bite Go recipe demonstration photos took 1 hour and 15 minutes to roast in the oven to perfection.
If the skin of the turkey is browned before the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, cover the turkey in foil and add it back to the oven to cook until it reaches a safe temperature. This should keep the top from burning if that’s an issue in your oven.
If the skin of the turkey is not golden brown, but the inside is fully cooked, turn on the oven broiler. Take the turkey out of the oven, brush it with about 1 tbsp of melted butter, and broil it on high for about 5-10 minutes until it’s golden brown.
Rest roasted turkey breast, covered with tin foil, for at least 25 minutes (the one in the photo rested for 45 minutes). This will keep it juicy, but prevent juices from running when you cut into the turkey. Carve the turkey and enjoy with fresh squeezes of lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary.
