Ingredients

• 2 pounds Turkey breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 medium Carrots (sliced)
• 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
• 12 ounces Baby potatoes (halved)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Lemon (zest and juice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form an herb rub.

Step 3

Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the turkey breast, ensuring full coverage.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the turkey breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add carrots, celery, baby potatoes, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom.

Step 7

Nestle the turkey breast back into the skillet on top of the vegetables.

Step 8

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

While the turkey is roasting, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the lemon zest and juice to create a bright citrus glaze.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 5-10 minutes. Brush the lemon glaze over the turkey for added flavor.

Step 11

Slice the turkey and serve alongside the roasted vegetables, spooning any skillet juices over the top.
