Ingredients

• 3 pounds Turkey breast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, ground black pepper, paprika, and onion powder to form a marinade.

Step 3

Place the turkey breast in a shallow baking dish and rub the marinade all over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 4

Pour the low-sodium chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish around the turkey.

Step 5

Cover the dish with aluminum foil, which will help keep the turkey moist.

Step 6

Place the turkey in the preheated oven and bake for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Around 15 minutes before the turkey is done, remove the foil to let the turkey brown nicely on top.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices are redistributed.

Step 9

Serve the turkey slices warm, accompanied by your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
