Learn how to make a flavorful Garlic Herb Turkey Breast paired with Skillet Green Beans. Perfect for a delicious and wholesome meal on your table.
Ingredients
- 4 lb (1.8 kg) turkey breast
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) unsalted butter
- 1 lb (450 g) fresh green beans
- 2 zucchini
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) dried oregano
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) dried thyme
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) black pepper
Instructions
- Set the oven to 375°F. Clean the turkey breast under running water and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Put it in a roasting dish and coat it evenly with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Insert the turkey breast into the heated oven and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let the turkey sit for 10 minutes before cutting it into slices.
- While the turkey cooks, cut the ends off the green beans and turn the zucchini into thin strips using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Chop the garlic finely.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until it releases its aroma. Add the green beans and zucchini strips, cooking for 5-7 minutes and stirring often until they are soft. Add salt and pepper as desired.
- Carve the turkey breast and serve it alongside the sautéed green beans and zucchini strips with garlic butter. Enjoy your meal!
Notes
- Thoroughly pat dry the turkey breast before seasoning to achieve a crispy skin when roasting.
- Enhance the flavor of the green beans and zucchini by incorporating additional herbs or spices.
- Allow the turkey breast to rest before slicing to ensure a tender and flavorful meat.
