Equipment

  • Roasting pan (preferred), or a baking dish

Ingredients

  • 2 ½-3 pound turkey breast boneless, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning Famous Dave’s Country Roast Chicken Seasoning, or similar
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning Weber Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning, or similar
  • 4 cups apple cider Store-bought, or see the notes below to get my homemade apple cider brine recipe
  • 4 sprigs herbs i.e.,fresh rosemary, parsley, or thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mix the Famous Dave’s seasoning and the roasted garlic & herb spice in a small bowl to create a Southern spice rub for the turkey.
  • Rub and coat the turkey breast with the Southern spice rub mixture on the top and bottom.
  • Pour the apple cider into the roasting pan.
  • Then, place the seasoned turkey breast directly in the apple cider brine in the pan without the roasting rack.
  • Baste the turkey breast by spooning the apple cider over it.
  • Place the turkey in the roasting pan in the oven and roast uncovered at 325 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (Roast for 1 hour using the Instant Pot Omni Plus Oven.)
  • Halfway through, baste the bird using a large spoon to scoop the brine from the pan over the turkey breast.
  • When the roasting time is finished, remove the turkey breast from the oven and baste it again.
  • Place this Southern turkey breast on a serving platter to slice, add fresh rosemary sprigs (what I used), thyme, or parsley to garnish, serve, and enjoy!
