Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a roasting pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Pat the turkey breast completely dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the surface, then season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
- Place turkey breast skin-side up in the prepared roasting pan. Roast for 45 minutes without opening the oven door.
- While turkey roasts, make the glaze by whisking together honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, and cayenne (if using) in a small bowl until smooth.
- After 45 minutes, brush half the glaze over the turkey breast. Continue roasting for 20-25 minutes.
- Brush with remaining glaze and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part.
- Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve with any pan drippings spooned over the top.
Notes
The turkey is done when it reaches 165°F internally. If the glaze starts to get too dark during cooking, tent with foil. Leftover roast keeps in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and makes excellent sandwiches. For best results, use a meat thermometer rather than relying on cooking time alone.
