Ingredients
  • 3 1/2 pound (to 4 lb) Boneless turkey
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. 2
    Rinse the turkey breast thoroughly and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
  3. 3
    Using a sharp knife, carefully loosen the skin from the meat, starting at one end, while leaving the skin attached along one edge like a flap.
  4. 4
    Make small slits in the surface of the turkey meat and insert the thinly sliced garlic cloves into these slits.
  5. 5
    In a small bowl, combine the salt, chopped fresh rosemary (or dried), and chopped fresh thyme (or dried).
  6. 6
    Sprinkle half of the herb and salt mixture directly onto the exposed meat under the skin.
  7. 7
    Pull the skin back over the meat and secure it with toothpicks to keep the herbs in place.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the remaining herb mixture over the outside of the skin, then dust lightly with paprika.
  9. 9
    Trim the ends and tops off the green onions, then fold them in half lengthwise.
  10. 10
    Place the folded green onions inside the cavity of the turkey breast.
  11. 11
    Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan.
  12. 12
    Roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170ðF (77ðC) and the meat is no longer pink.
  13. 13
    Remove from the oven and let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
