What is the best way to cook a butterball boneless turkey breast roast? ›

This boneless turkey breast roast recipe does not produce dry results. To prevent dry turkey, follow the recipe and do not overcook it! It's important to remove it from the oven before internal temperature reached 165 F.

For the best roast turkey breast, roast at 325℉. You'll get juicy meat and crispy skin with an incredible flavor. If you need to cook it a little faster, you can raise the temp to 350 degrees and cook for about 15-18 minutes per pound.

Weigh it with any stuffings before calculating cooking times. Follow the magic calculation of 20 mins for every kg plus 70 minutes if the joint is under 4kg (or plus 90 minutes if the joint is over 4kg) at 190°C (Fan 170°C) / 375°F / Gas Mark 5.

Roast uncovered according to Cooking Schedule or until meat thermometer in thickest part of breast reaches 170° F. If breast is stuffed, center of stuffing should be 165° F. Let breast stand for 10 minutes before carving.

To achieve a perfectly golden, juicy turkey, let the bird spend time both covered and uncovered in the oven. We recommend covering your bird for most of the cooking time to prevent it from drying out; then, during the last 30 minutes or so of cooking, remove the cover so the skin crisps in the hot oven.

Place your turkey on a wire rack and then place the rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of water in the bottom of the roasting pan. This will prevent the drippings from burning on the bottom of the pan. If using a flat rack (use a V-rack if you have one), you will notice the turkey will tilt to one side or the other.

Both the National Turkey Federation and USDA recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure a delicious and safe meal. Accurate temperatures, both in the oven and the turkey are important for quality and safety.

Generally speaking, a good rule of thumb is 20 minutes per pound of turkey breast at 350°F. A lower temperature would increase your cooking time and a higher temperature will cook the meat faster.

These times are based on a room temperature turkey at 325 degrees F the entire time; plan on about 15 to 17 minutes per pound (the times below are based on 15 minutes per pound).

How Much Turkey Breast to Buy. One (3-pound) half-breast will feed two to four people. A whole (six- to seven-pound) turkey breast (two breasts, still joined at the breast bone) will feed six to eight people. This method will work for either amount of meat.

Always check doneness with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast. Start checking temperature after 2 hours. Remove from oven when internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Properly cooked bone-in and boneless breasts can be juicy and flavorful. However, bone-in turkey breasts have a slight advantage. The bone in the breast insulates the nearby meat during cooking, causing it to heat slower and retain moisture.
