ROASTED TURKEY BREAST
It’s Thanksgiving and you don’t want to cook an entire turkey. Guess what? You don’t have to! My mom always makes two 25 pound turkeys and a ham for Thanksgiving but most people aren’t cooking for that big of a crowd.
This is a great option to make enough turkey for 6 people without the intimidation factor. Perfect for smaller gatherings.
SEASONING RUB:
For this turkey breast we will be using rosemary, paprika, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Grind it up in a food processor or chop up the rosemary very fine and stir the ingredients together.
BONE-IN
You have two options when buying a turkey breast. You can either buy bone-in or boneless. Bone-in turkey breasts tend to have more flavor but you do have to cut around the bone. Boneless is still good and is really easy to slice.
