Ingredients for Herb-Infused Aioli
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, and thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Ingredients for Roasted Turkey Breast
- 1 whole turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Preparation of Herb-Infused Aioli
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped herbs. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Roasting the Turkey Breast
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the turkey breast with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and garlic powder. Place the breast on a roasting pan and cook for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its juices and ensures tender slices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sliced turkey breast with a generous dollop of herb-infused aioli on the side. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
Enjoy this flavorful and aromatic meal that combines the richness of roasted turkey with the vibrant taste of herb-infused aioli.
