It’s a win-win if you ask me. Follow my easy recipe to make the best, juicy turkey with crispy and delicious skin! While last year I cooked it in my Instant Pot, this year I will show you how to roast it perfectly in the oven.

This Oven Roasted Turkey Breast is very easy to prepare and the result is juicy meat with a crispy skin. The turkey breast cooks in half the time as a whole turkey since it’s usually half the size, yet you get the best meat from the bird. No need to tie the legs and struggle to fold the wings under the bird to set it on the roaster. Turkey breast is easier and faster to prepare.
