The Best Roast Turkey Breast
Turkey isn’t just for the holidays! I love roasting a turkey breast at the start of the week—perfect for Sunday dinner, then sliced up for easy lunches all week. Sandwiches, wraps, salads… so many possibilities. I add celery, carrots, and onions to the roasting pan (and some inside the turkey cavity) for extra moisture and flavor. Brush with melted butter, season with a generous amount of salt & pepper, fresh thyme, roast and enjoy!
