Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Turkey breast, boneless, skinless about 450g
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on all sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
  4. Remove the turkey from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the meat juicy.
  5. Slice the turkey breast against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra flavor, try marinating the turkey breast for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Ensure you have an accurate meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and dry turkey.
