Is it time to roast a turkey for your next holiday dinner? You’re going to love this easy recipe! It’s got all the delicious flavor of an oven-roasted turkey breast without any of the hassle or mess. Plus, it’s so simple that anyone can do it.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

The first step in cooking your turkey breast is to preheat your oven, which will ensure that when it’s time to put your bird in there, it won’t take forever for heat to build up and cook everything evenly. To do this:

• Turn on your oven and set it at 350 degrees F (175 C). This can be done by pressing “start” or opening up an app on your phone that allows you access from anywhere in the house; just make sure not everyone else does this at once! If someone does accidentally turn on their own personal heating device before yours has had time enough for proper warming-up purposes… well… then maybe just let them sit around coldly until yours gets hot enough? That seems fair enough too!

2. Remove the giblets from the turkey and set aside for another use (they’re great for making stock). Dry the turkey with paper towels, then place in a roasting pan.

• Remove the giblets from the turkey and set aside for another use (they’re great for making stock). Dry the turkey with paper towels, then place in a roasting pan.
• Pour 1 cup water into each leg of the roasting pan and place it on top of your stove burner(s) to start heating up. The steam will help keep your oven moist as it cooks, so don’t skip this step! If you don’t have an extra burner for this purpose, just put some water into a pot or saucepan on high heat until boiling before placing it underneath or beside your main roasting pan.*

3. Rub the turkey with salt and pepper and place it in the oven to cook for 30 minutes. During this time, baste it with melted butter or poultry baster every 15 minutes or so.

After you’ve rubbed the turkey with salt and pepper, place it in the oven to cook for 30 minutes. During this time, baste it with melted butter or poultry baster every 15 minutes or so.

At this point, your oven should be preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). After 30 minutes have passed (and after basting), check on your turkey’s internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer inserted into its thickest part: If it reads 160 F/71 C or higher when inserted into a breast half, remove it from heat immediately!

4. Lower the temperature of your oven to 325 degrees F, then roast until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, which will take about an hour per pound of turkey breast. Check by inserting a meat thermometer into thickest part of the breast but not touching bone.

If you’re going to roast your turkey breast in the oven, keep these tips in mind:

• Do not cook at high temperatures. Cooking at too high a temperature will cause the meat to dry out and become tough. Instead, cook it at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes before lowering the temperature down to 225 degrees F for about an hour per pound of turkey breast.
• Insert a meat thermometer into thickest part of the breast but not touching bone (the internal temperature should reach 160 degrees F).

how long does it take to cook a turkey breast in an oven?

Cooking a turkey breast in an oven is a relatively easy process. It’s best to have an internal meat thermometer, but if you don’t have one, you can use a sharp knife to check the temperature of your turkey. You want to cook it until its internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. This will take 30-40 minutes per pound of turkey breast, depending on how much fat there is on it and what size cut you’re using (a whole breast versus slices).

When cooking a turkey breast, keep basting regularly with butter or olive oil so that it stays moist inside while roasting in the oven at 350 degrees F until fully cooked through with no pink remaining around any bone area when pierced with knife tip

Conclusion

Cooking a turkey breast in the oven is a great way to save time and money. You can use this recipe for any size turkey you want, and it will always taste delicious!
