The Main Event

  • 2.5 lb Turkey Breast

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, rosemary, and smoked paprika.
  2. Pat the roast thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub 1 to 2 tablespoons of softened butter or neutral oil over the netting and skin, then work the spice blend evenly across the exterior.

Roasting

  1. Preheat convection oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place the netted turkey breast on a wire rack set inside a shallow roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 50 to 70 minutes.
  4. Check internal temperature at 45 minutes; remove from oven when the thickest part reaches 160°F (71°C).

Resting

  1. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 10 to 15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. Snip and peel off the netting with kitchen shears before slicing.

Notes

Leave the roasting net intact to keep the boneless roast uniform for even cooking.
