I love this recipe any time of year! But, especially during this holiday season that may be looking a little different than others.
What You Need to Make this Recipe
How to Make this Recipe
This Boneless Turkey Roast Recipe couldn’t be easier to make!
Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees F.
(1) Layer the olive oil and spices over the turkey.
(2) Place the onion and fresh sage on the top and tucked into the turkey where you can. Then, place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue to cook.
When the internal temperature reachers 165 degrees F, the roast is ready to pull out!
You will want to let the roast rest when you pull it out of the oven before slicing for 10 to 15 minutes.
Then, slice and plate for serving!
This pairs excellent with roasted veggies and potatoes (both of which can be made while roasting the bird!)
Recipe Notes
This recipe is pretty fool proof!
Here are a few tips to keep in mind while preparing this Boneless Turkey Roast Recipe!
- Bird size:
- I recommend a 4 to 5 pound boneless bird for this recipe. If all you can find is bone-in, then you will need to adjust cooking time and bump it up.
- Herbs:
- We love the combination of rosemary and sage, but feel free to make this your own! If you have another favorite pairing, feel free to use them as well.
- Salt:
- For those watching their sodium intakes, you can omit the salt addition and have table salt for guests to add as needed.
