Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
-
Step 2.
Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
-
Step 3.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a paste.
-
Step 4.
Loosen the skin from the meat gently with your fingers and smear half of the paste directly on the meat.
-
Step 5.
Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin.
-
Step 6.
Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.
-
Step 7.
Roast the turkey for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast. If the skin is over-browning, cover the breast loosely with aluminum foil.
-
Step 8.
When the turkey is done, cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
Step 9.
Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over the turkey.
