Herb Roasted Turkey
Ingredients
3-1/2 to 4 lb. boneless turkey breast
1 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 tsp. dried rosemary
2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
paprika
4 green onions, trimmed of ends and tops
Cooking Instructions
Rinse turkey and pat dry. Loosen lining under skin with a knife. Pull skin back, leaving it attached along one edge. Make cuts in surface of turkey and insert garlic slices. Combine salt and herbs. Sprinkle turkey with half the mixture. Replace skin and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle turkey with remaining herb mixture and paprika. Place turkey in a roasting pan. Fold green onions in half lengthwise, and place inside turkey breast cavity. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F. for 2 to 2-1/2 hours to an internal temperature of 170 degrees F., or until meat is no longer pink. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Microwave: Prepare turkey as described. Rather than placing in roasting pan, place in a glass baking dish, skin side down. Cover with plastic wrap, turning back one corner to vent. Cook in microwave on high for 11 minutes. Turn skin side up and place onions underneath breast. Cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Total cooking time should be approximately 7 to 10 minutes per lb. of turkey.
