When Scott's parent's gave us part of a turkey breast to cook (because their turkeys are always HUGE so you can only cook part of the breast at a time!), I was at a loss as to what to do because I always let more experienced people cook turkey for holiday dinners and other occasions. But I thought it was about time I cooked one myself and it turned out pretty darn good! I even took pictures to send to my family! So, here is what they recommend if you are cooking it in a counter-top oven roaster.
Food.com's Perfect Turkey In An Electric Roaster Oven
Ingredients:
- 1 large turkey breast (that's what I used anyway, and it was actually just a 1/2 a breast, but still huge)
- cooking oil
- seasoning (salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, season salt, etc.)
- Oil the turkey breast and sprinkle with your desired amount of seasonings.
- Place prepared turkey breast on top or wire rack in the roaster oven (with handles up) and cover with lid (do not add any water to the bottom).
- Turn on roaster to 325 degrees. Turkey will self-baste if you don't lift the lid, so try not to lift the lid hardly at all during the cooking process.
- Final temperature should reach about 180 degrees in the thigh and 165 in the breast. Juices should run clear.
- When done, remove from roaster, cover with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes before cutting.
