Shopping List

You will need the following ingredients to make this recipe.

3 lb. Boneless Turkey Breast Roast: I used a 3 pound boneless turkey breast roast that has the netting on it.

Rosemary: used crushed rosemary from the bottle. You can use fresh rosemary if you like.

Garlic Powder: gives the turkey breast a great flavor.

Salt: a little salt is needed.

Minced Garlic: used to stuff the turkey breast.

Bacon Bits: used cooked bacon bits to stuff the turkey breast with.

Olive Oil: coat the top of the turkey breast.

How Long Does It Take To Thaw A 3 lb. Boneless Turkey Breast?

You can thaw in the refrigerator for a couple of days. If you need to thaw it out quicker then you should use the cold water method. You will want to fill your sink or a bowl with cold water. Then place the turkey breast unopened in the cold water.

Make sure the turkey is completely covered in the water. You will want to change the water every 30 minutes and rotate the turkey breast around. It should take about 30 minutes per pound to thaw using this method. You could also thaw in the microwave, I never use this method and don’t recommend it.

How Long Does It Take To Prepare?

It takes about 5 minutes to prepare.

Should I Remove The Netting?

No, do not remove the netting. You will remove it after you finish cooking.

Do You Cover The Turkey Breast When Cooking?

No, do not cover the turkey breast when you cook it so that it does not dry out. So, cook uncovered.

Do You Cook A Turkey Breast At 325 Or 350?

I cook the turkey breast at 350.

How Long Does It Take To Cook?

It takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to cook.

At What Temperature Is A Boneless Turkey Breast Done?

Your thermometer should reach 160-165 degrees F.

What Sides Go With A Turkey Breast?

I like to eat turkey breast with mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy, and dinner rolls.

Can I Substitute Ingredients?

Yes, you can add other spices to season the turkey breast.

How To Store Turkey Breast

Store turkey in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you need to store longer then you should freeze the leftovers.
