Gordon Ramsay Turkey Breast recipe
Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Turkey Breast is a roasted, boneless, or bone-in turkey breast seasoned with butter, garlic, fresh herbs, and citrus, then roasted to golden perfection. The butter and herb mixture keeps the meat juicy and flavorful, while a high-heat roast ensures crispy, golden skin. This dish is an easy alternative to a whole turkey and is ideal for holidays or Sunday dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb turkey breast (boneless or bone-in, skin-on)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)

Instructions

Prepare the Turkey Breast:

  1. Preheat the oven – Set to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the turkey dry – Use paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring crispy skin.
  3. Mix the herb butter – In a bowl, combine butter, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest.
  4. Loosen the skin – Carefully separate the turkey skin from the meat using your fingers.
  5. Spread the butter mixture – Rub half under the skin and half over the skin, ensuring even coverage.

Roasting the Turkey Breast:

  1. Place in a roasting pan – Position the turkey skin-side up in a pan or baking dish.
  2. Roast uncovered – Cook for 60-75 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with pan juices.
  3. Check for doneness – The turkey is done when it reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part.
  4. Rest before slicing – Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to retain juices.
