Ingredients

  • 5 - 10 lb bone in turkey breast thawed and patted dry
  • 2 packets dry onion soup mix
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp celery salt
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 32 oz chicken broth divided

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together the onion soup mix, garlic powder, celery salt, thyme, and basil.
  • Place thawed turkey breast in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  • Rub dry seasoning mixture onto surface of turkey evenly.
  • Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours (or more) depending on the size of your turkey - consult the instructions on your turkey for specifics, but usually 15 - 20 minutes per pound.
  • About 45 minutes into cooking, pour another cup of chicken broth over the top of the turkey. 
  • Repeat again after another 45 minutes of cooking, using the remaining cup of chicken broth.
  • Baste the turkey every 45 minutes thereafter, until turkey is done and registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer place deep into the breast meat.
  • Remove from the oven and cover the turkey with foil. 
  • Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. I like to slice the turkey and then allow the slices to sit in the bottom of the pan soaking up all the juices until everyone's ready to eat.
