Ingredients
1 turkey breast (bone-in or boneless, skin-on, about 2 – 2 1/2 lbs)
3 rosemary twigs for garnish
For the marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Juice from 1 lemon
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
8 cloves of garlic, minced
3 rosemary twigs whole
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients in a large bowl or a plastic Ziplock bag.
Add the turkey breast, ensuring every part is covered with the marinade. If using a Ziplock bag, expel as much air as possible before sealing.
Marinate in the fridge for 12-24 hours. If marinating is not an option, roast immediately and serve with pan juices.
Preheat oven to 325F. Place the turkey breast in a deep baking dish and pour in the marinade.
Bake uncovered on the middle rack for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160F (will rise to 165F during resting).
Baste every 20 minutes to prevent drying and aid browning. If needed, broil on high for 2-3 minutes for a golden-brown skin.
Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then carve and serve with pan juices. Garnish with fresh rosemary twigs.
