Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Slice the turkey into thin portions and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with the roasted cherry tomatoes, olives, and any pan juices.
