Turkey Breast Cooking Time
It is easy to make a moist succulent turkey breast by following a few helpful hints: * Place your turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan, to allow the heat to circulate well. * Place one inch of water in the bottom of the pan to help keep your turkey moist and tender. * Brush the turkey breast lightly with oil, and cover liberally with your favorite herbs, spices, or seasonings. Make a tent out of aluminum foil and place this over the turkey breast to hold in heat for even cooking. You will want to remove the aluminum foil during the last hour and a half of cooking for a nice golden brown color. Check the water level periodically and add more water if needed. This juice and herb infused mixture can be used to make nice turkey gravy after the turkey is done cooking. The typical turkey breast cooking times for thawed turkey breast at 325 to 350 degrees in a conventional oven are: * 2 to 3 pounds – 1.5 to 2 hours * 4 to 6 pounds – 2.
