Ingredients

  • 1 whole turkey breast (4–6 lbs), bone-in
  • 1 EZ Bombs Turkey Brine Bomb (or your favorite brine)
  • Water (per EZ Bombs instructions or your brine instruction)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • EZ Bomb Seasoning Packet (or your favorite turkey seasoning)
  • 2-4 Ribs of Celery

Directions

  1. Brine Turkey:
    1. Prepare brine according to package directions.
    2. Submerge the turkey breast completely in the brine and refrigerate for 12–24 hours.
    3. After brining, remove the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the brine.
  2. Prep the Bird:
    1. Using kitchen shears, carefully cut out the backbone to allow the breast to lay flat for even roasting.
    2. Gently loosen the skin over the breast meat with your fingers.
  3. Butter and Season:
    1. Spread half of the softened butter under the skin directly on the meat.
    2. Rub the remaining butter over the skin of the turkey breast.
    3. Sprinkle liberally with the EZBomb seasoning packet, or your seasoning of choice.
  4. Roast:
    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. Place 2-4 ribs of celery in the bottom of roasting pan.
    3. Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on top of celery in roasting pan.
    4. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast (about 1½ to 2 hours, depending on size).
    5. If the skin browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  5. Rest and Serve:
    1. Remove from oven and let rest for 15–20 minutes before carving.
    2. Slice and serve warm.
