Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356 °F). Starting with the right temperature ensures your turkey breast roasts evenly and achieves a beautiful golden crust.

Step 2: Season the Turkey

Drizzle a little olive oil over the turkey breast, then rub it all over with a poultry rub or seasoning of your choice. Don’t skimp on this step—it’s what makes every bite burst with festive flavour!

Step 3: Place in the Oven

Place the seasoned turkey breast on a roasting tray and transfer it to the preheated oven. We recommend cooking for approximately 45 minutes per kilogram of turkey breast.

Use a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature, aiming for around 70°C (158°F) as it cooks.

Step 4: Rest for Juiciness

Once the turkey reaches 70°C (158°F), remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the temperature to rise naturally to 74°C (165°F), the safe point for poultry, and locks in those juices.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Carve the turkey breast into thin, even slices using a sharp knife and carving fork. Take your time to keep the slices intact and presentable.

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touch

Serve your turkey with a side of tangy cranberry sauce or a rich, velvety turkey gravy for a perfect festive pairing.
